Abstract:
The paper intends to carry out a corpus-based analysis of adverbials in judicial discourse. In particular, by comparing three small corpora of judgments from three courts, the paper shows that adverbials act as useful tools in unpacking the peculiarities of judicial argumentative discourse, e.g. the pursuit of precision and the exercise of discretion.
