Abstract:

This volume highlights important aspects of the complex relationship between
common language and legal practice. It hosts an interdisciplinary discussion
between cognitive science, philosophy of language and philosophy of law, in
which an international group of authors aims to promote, enrich and refine
this new debate. 

Philosophers of law have always shown a keen interest in cognitive science and
philosophy of language in order to find tools to solve their problems:
recently this interest was reciprocated and scholars from cognitive science
and philosophy of language now look to the law as a testing ground for their
theses.

Using the most sophisticated tools available to pragmatics, sociolinguistics,
cognitive sciences and legal theory, an interdisciplinary, international group
of authors address questions like: Does legal interpretation differ from
ordinary understanding? Is the common pragmatic apparatus appropriate to legal
practice? What can pragmatics teach about the concept of law and pervasive
legal phenomena such as testimony or legal disagreements?

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
