Normative texts are meant to be highly impersonal and
decontextualised, yet at the same time they also deal with a range
of human behaviour that is difficult to predict, which means they
have to have a very high degree of determinacy on the one hand, and
all-inclusiveness on the other. This poses a dilemma for the writer
and interpreter of normative texts. The author of such texts must
be determinate and vague at the same time, depending upon to what
extent he or she can predict every conceivable contingency that may
arise in the application of what he or she writes. The papers in
this volume discuss important legal and linguistic aspects relating
to the use of vagueness in legal drafting and demonstrate why such
aspects are critical to our understanding of the way normative
texts function.
