Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Legal meanings: Introduction -- Freedom of art in French legal proceedings: A discourse analysis perspective -- “What else can you do to pass . . . ?”: A pragmatics-based approach to quid pro quo sexual harassment -- Hostility to religion or protection against discrimination? Evaluation and argument in a case of conflicting principles -- Heller (2008) and the language of the Second Amendment: Grammar, meaning, and canonical conventions -- Experimental legal linguistics: A research agenda -- Pragmatics and the interpretation of international law: Two Relevance Theory-based approaches -- Temporal meanings in legal translation: English-Russian lacunas and associated semantic uncertainties -- Subject index
Summary: This collection is about how law makes meaning and how meaning makes law. Through clear methodology and substantial findings, chapters expose the deficits of ‘literal’ meaning and the difficulties in 'ordinary' meaning, in international legal contexts and in more immediate social ones, as well as in courtrooms. Further, chapters in this volume see the challenges to national and international commitments to all speakers sharing a common meaning.
