Abstract

Abstract: As a social process， legal discourse helps to embody a variety of social processes by reasonably distributing interpersonal semantic resources. It is analyzed that the Subjects of clauses in legal discourse are mainly distributed in self， private and public registers which enjoy full cooperation. The usage of modal resources is characterized by assimilation， and legal agents’ use of conversational condensation and expansion tends to acculturate. The negotiation resources in legal discourse enable social members to maximize self-interest and reduce the other partys benefit whereby to highlight competition and conflict. By reasonably tapping into varied interpersonal semantic resources， different types of legal discourse are embodied with such social processes as assimilation， cooperation， competition and conflict， thus realizing fair social competition， coordinating social conflicts and promoting social development.

Key words: legal discourse, social process, interpersonal semantics
