Additionally, functional stylistic analysis considers the role of legal language in
shaping societal norms and power structures. Legal language can reinforce existing
power imbalances or challenge them, depending on how it is used. For example,
using gender-neutral language in legal documents can help to challenge male-
dominated power structures in the legal system. Functional stylistic analysis of
legal text is an important tool for understanding the language and structure of legal
documents and their role in shaping societal norms and power structures.
Lexical-semantic analysis of legal texts involves studying the meaning of legal
terms and how they relate to each other. Legal vocabulary tends to be very specific
and precise, and words that might have multiple meanings in everyday language
may have a very specific definition in the legal context. Understanding the
meaning of legal terms and their relationships within a legal document is essential
for interpreting the text accurately. In addition to stylistic and lexical-semantic
analysis, legal texts may also be analyzed for their genre conventions and discourse
structures. Legal documents such as contracts or legal briefs follow specific
conventions and structures, and understanding these is essential for effective legal
communication.
Overall, language and law, any legal texts are closely related. Stylistic and lexical-
semantic analysis of legal texts, which is included in this paper, is essential for
understanding the complexities of legal language and ensuring accurate
interpretation and communication
