Abstract
This article covers a wide variety of topics relating to French legal discourse. First, personal and verbal aspects are discussed. The author then embarks upon linguistic means that permit signalling insistency. Next, she discusses negation in legal language. The next topic is a discussion on the use of singular and plural in legal language. Furthermore, the author outlines some appreciations on the use of demonstratives. Observations on the use of the definite and indefinite articles constitute the next issue. Finally, the author discusses ellipsis of the subject, syntax of the preposition and the syntactic complexity of subordinate constructions.
