| Formatted contents note | 3.3.1 Academic and Cases: VVZ (third person singular present) -- 3.3.2 Academic and Cases: IN/that and WDT -- 3.4 Key features in Documents and Legislation -- 3.4.1 Documents and Legislation: CC (coordinating conjunctions) -- 3.4.1.1 And. Figure 1 brings to light a striking difference between Documents and the other corpora concerning and, and between Documents and Legislation and the other two corpora concerning or. First, what are the reasons for the high frequency of and in -- 3.4.1.2 Or. The coordinator or stands out as being at least twice as frequent in Documents and Legislation as in the other two corpora. To investigate this further, we looked at its collocates in these corpora.

| Formatted contents note | 5. Results and discussion -- 5.1 Overview of nouns + that-clause in the three corpora -- 5.1.1 Epistemic nouns expressing certainty -- 5.1.1.1 Fact. The frequency of the noun fact corroborates previous studies which demonstrate that Law is among the disciplines with the highest occurrence of this noun (Goźdź-Roszkowski 2018a: 143). These findings suggest an underlying disciplinary-specif -- 5.1.1.2 Conclusion. The frequency of the noun conclusion is another example of the most salient findings that emerge from this comparison. These findings are surprising for two reasons. First, as Figure 1 shows, conclusions are on average much more freque -- 5.1.2 Epistemic nouns indicating likelihood -- 6.
