Abstract
Abstract<br /> Legal texts are a subfield of forensic linguistics involving the study of language and the law. This language is an arcane and often impenetrable category. The purpose of this present study is to identify the field of Legal Texts and distinguish their different aspects, moreover to discuss the distinctive field in homicide investigations in the Egyptian Supreme Court thoroughly. Therefore, this paper is supported by three cases from the Egyptian Supreme court. The paper analyzes the textuality with a focus on both the characteristics and criteria of forensic linguistics, linking text to context and types of ambiguity either lexical or structural features. Textuality integrated with ambiguity can constitute a totality of properties giving cohesion and coherence in any meaningful text.<br /> Textual analysis of these legal texts also involves understanding forensic language to gain information and providing cues to ways through which communication of social structures is understood. Textual analysis in legal studies operates at seven criteria of text. In addition to paying particular attention to specific lexical and structural ambiguity in forensic texts of cases under investigation. This paper aims to examine the textuality features and thematic structures embedded in the Egyptian Supreme legal texts, and to determine the most dominant causal factors of ambiguities in the Egyptian Supreme legal texts. All of these properties have consequences for research techniques to extrapolate the nature of legal texts and the relations involved between textuality and ambiguity.
