内容記述 | Although the genre of "legal memorandum" is an area of crucial importance for international students enrolled in graduate-level law degree programs in the U.S., few studies have been conducted to reveal how those advanced learners of English are coping with the challenge of drafting persuasive legal memoranda. As an attempt to narrow this gap, the present study offers an in-depth text analysis of modal expressions by six international students at a U.S. law school from a functional perspective as (epistemic) modality captures the most critical function of a legal memo, namely predicting the "probable" outcome of a legal case with careful examination of its strengths and weaknesses, as assessed against prior case judgments. The study draws on functional systemic linguistics as its conceptual framework and examines how those international students realize modality-related meanings through particular lexcogrammatical resources, including modal verbs. |
