Linguistic Field(s): Forensic Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 15-May-2011 

Meeting Description:

The 2011 roundtable will focus on the contribution of legal semiotics to 
discuss the different ways of thinking the 'legal' in a world's cultural 
diversity. 

Aware of the III World Forum of the Alliance of Civilizations, held in Brazil in 
May 2010, that had the intention to rethink how to deal with tensions 
between cultures and promote trust and understanding between 
heterogeneous communities, the 11th Roundtable intend to put together 
scholars of legal semiotics to discuss the influences of cultural and linguistic 
diversity on the construction of meaning in national law and international 
law.

It is hoped that the papers will reflect the interdisciplinary nature of legal 
semiotics research as well as the challenges of working in the field. In this 
context, proposals from a wide variety of semiotic perspectives are invited. 
These might include but are not limited to papers on:

-The contribution of legal semiotics across cultures
-The problem of multilingualism
-Semiotics and comparative law
-Legal semiotics and the processes of normative integration
-Semiotics of international relations
-Semiotics and competition of languages in international relations
-Language, power and diplomacy
-Translating legal concepts across cultures: the case of contract 
terminology or case of land law terminology.
-The misuse of language in the judicial process, in legal adjudication
-The use of metaphors in legal language
