This volume is the second part of a project which hosts an
interdisciplinary discussion about the relationship among law and
language, legal practice and ordinary conversation, legal
philosophy and the linguistics sciences. An international group of
authors, from cognitive science, philosophy of language and
philosophy of law question about how legal theory and pragmatics
can enrich each other. In particular, the first part is devoted to
the analysis of how pragmatics can solve problems related to legal
theory: What can pragmatics teach about the concept of law and its
relationship with moral, and, in particular, about the eternal
dispute between legal positivism and legal naturalism? What can
pragmatics teach about the concept of law and/or legal
disagreements? The second part is focused on legal adjudication: it
aims to construct a pragmatic apparatus appropriate to legal trial
and/or to test the tenure of the traditional pragmatics tools in
the field. The authors face questions such as: Which interesting
pragmatic features emerge from legal adjudication? What pragmatic
theories are better suited to account for the practice of judgment
or its particular aspects (such as the testimony or the binding
force of legal precedents)? Which pragmatic and socio-linguistic
problems are highlighted by this practice?
