Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis
Call Deadline: 01-Nov-2022
Meeting Description:
The sea has historically been seen as a zone of exceptions to expected human
behavior and codes. Law, as a human regulatory activity, has also made certain
specificities for activities associated with the sea, including commerce
(Corruble 2015, 2018; Fedi 2019). While maritime law and law of the sea are
highly researched domains of law, few studies exist about the language
associated with these fields, with a few exceptions (Orts Llopis 2014). In a
global society that is increasingly impacted by environmental, health, social,
and political crises that partly unfold on the sea, this focus conference aims
to unite legal scholars and linguists who work on the language of these
fields.
We include fields of public and private law. Law of the sea generally deals
with public law (Chaumette 2021) while private law is most often associated
with maritime law. Law related to this domain is fragmented (Lavissiere &
Fedi, in press) which allows large margins for negotiation by powerful
companies, such as shipping companies. The business relationships of these
companies are currently called into question (Fedi et al. 2022; Corruble 2021;
Brooks et al. 2019). This conference will be an opportunity to investigate:
-the types of legal documents that frame these private relationships and the
language that is specific to them and their rhetorical (Swales 1990) or
pragmatic (Trosborg 1997) structure;
- language and discourse approaches to domestic law, especially competition
law, related to maritime matters;
- language and discourse approaches to domestic law, international law related
to security in private companies that work in the maritime industry.
We equally extend this conference to language and discourse from fields
related to the law of the sea, including:
- environmental questions (opening up of the Arctic sea route, threats that
human sea activity pose to biodiversity);
- security questions (trafficking, piracy, conflicts);
- sovereignty issues (Corruble 2020) and coastal States (international waters,
economic zones);
- concerns related to immigration, refugee crises, law enforcement (police
border patrols, marines, naval infantry etc.) on the sea and in ports.
The fields of language related to these legal questions can include
theoretical concerns in legal linguistics (Tiersma 1999), discourse and genre
questions, terminology and other traits of specialized discourse, translation
and interpretation. Papers may address concerns such as the following:
- What genres (Bhatia 1993, 2012) are specific to maritime law or law of the
sea? How do they differ from genres in other fields of law?
- How does the specific framework in these domains affect language in their
documents or oral genres?
- What terminological specificities do we observe?
- How are translation and interpretation affected by the specific legal
framework?
