Abstract

This study employs a corpus-based method to analyze Chinese court judgments through the lens of socio-cognitive discourse analysis. It investigates the interplay between discourse, cognitive, and social dimensions, revealing that Chinese court judgments are both society-oriented and cognition-oriented. The study identifies key cognitive sources (faith, induction, paraphrase, inference) and their influence on social functions (citation, depiction, distance, summary). The findings offer insights into legal text interpretation and Chinese judicial decision-making.
