    "What is the value of fictions, metaphors, figures and scenarios in adjudication? This book develops three models to help answer that question: inquiry, artefacts and imagination. Legal language, it is argued, contains artefacts - forms that signal their own artifice and call upon us to do things with them and thanks to them. To imagine, in turn, is to enter a distinctive epistemic frame where we temporarily suspend certain epistemic norms and commitments and participate actively along a spectrum of affective, sensory and kinetic involvement. The book argues that artefacts and related processes of imagination are valuable insofar as they enable inquiry in adjudication, i.e. the social (interactive and collective) process of making insight into what values, vulnerabilities and interests might be at stake in a case and in cases like it in the future. The book is structured in two parts, with the first offering an account of the three models of inquiry, artefacts and imagination, and the second examining four case studies (fictions, metaphors, figures and scenarios). Drawing on a broad range of theoretical traditions - including philosophy of imagination and emotion, the theory and history of rhetoric, and the cognitive humanities - this book offers an interdisciplinary defence of the importance of artefactual language and imagination in adjudication"--

    The main purpose of this comparative legal and linguistic study is to analyse three main aspects which form the basis of the writing of the "Czech-English Law Dictionary with Explanations" (a) the language of law in the Czech Republic (legal Czech) and major English-speaking countries (legal English), (b) approaches to the translation of legal texts, and (c) approaches to dictionary-making in the area of bilingual special-purposes lexicography. Well-grounded and justified solutions are sought to be used in the dictionary but also to indicate directions of envisaged future research and pedagogical applications

    Language, Meaning and the Law offers an accessible, critical guide to debates about linguistic meaning and interpretation in relation to legal language. Law is an ideal domain for considering fundamental questions relating to how we assign meanings to words, understand and comment on texts, and deal with socially and ideologically significant questions of interpretation. The book argues that theoretical issues of concern to linguists, philosophers, literary theorists and others are illuminated by the demands of the legal context, since law is driven by the need for practical solutions and for

    Lost in translation -- Legal certainty : form and substance -- Discourse and legal certainty -- reconceptualising legal certainty

    Whilst firmly situated within the field of EU law, this book also employs theories developed in linguistics and translation studies in exploring the uncertainty surrounding the meaning of multilingual EU law and the impact of multilingualism on judicial reasoning at the European Court of Justice. To reconceptualize legal certainty in EU law, the book highlights the importance of transparent judicial reasoning and dialogue between courts and suggests a discursive model for adjudication at the European Court of Justice
