| Interdisciplinarity dominates today‟s world. Language is a key component of any discipline; law is no exception. This fact has given way to legal linguistics – a field of study that investigates where the language of law meets, or deviates from, the law of language. This paper investigates certain lexical and stylistic characteristics of legal English and applies them to two of Egypt‟s most important legal documents in its modern history: (1) The Convention of Constantinople (that regulates the use of the Suez Canal) of 1888, and (2) The Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty of 1979. | ||||
