内容摘要

Higher demands have been imposed on law-related professionals in China as our great motherland is much more open to the outside world. Some generic knowledge of English legal documents is urgent and helpful when they handle their routine business. Recent years have seen the development of a number of approaches to genre analysis on the legal texts, which is still insufficient both in quantity and quality.This thesis aims to describe the discourse elements------ the move structures ininternational treaties after examining the existing descriptions of law genre.After analyzing thirty international treaty texts in authentic English, the writer finds there exists a typical six-move-structure in each international agreement. Some complementary linguistic features in the legal texts have also been discovered.All these findings in the thesis are open to suggestions and even critics for the coming insightful and deepening studies by scholars and experts.
