Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present some linguistic notes to contemporary legal discourse, in the sense of rationalizing or adapting this discourse in favor of the elderly person, often already in a condition of fragility or dependence, requiring that the forensic documentation may gain more effectiveness, speed, care and safety, with a view to an ethics of care and long-term protection. The methodological procedure for approaching the theme adopted here is deductive-argumentative reasoning, through which one will start from the idea of the frailty of the elderly person, which requires a “change of course” regarding the speed of the actions, so that the elderly involved can, even within the final few years of your life, enjoy the successful results of forensic causes.
