Meeting Description:
It is a fact that the law pervades many aspects of our lives and the use and
function of its language constitute the essentials on which the precepts of law
itself are established. The interconnection between law and language provides a
continuous source of analytical insights for researchers working in a variety of
disciplines. It also gives us an opportunity to refine our current understanding
of language and law from an interdisciplinary perspective.
As part of its commitment to research in the field of language and law, the
Faculty of Law of the Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli (University of
Naples 2) is pleased to announce its first international workshop The Language
of Law - pulling together different strands and disciplines, to be held in Santa
Maria Capua Vetere, Caserta, Italy in June 2010.
Call for Papers
The Law Faculty of the Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli (University of
Naples 2) - Department of Legal Sciences - English Language Chair - is hosting
its first international workshop to bring together linguists, legal scholars and

European and non-European languages, cultures and systems. We therefore invite
colleagues to submit papers on theoretical and applied perspectives of language
in a variety of areas of law (civil, criminal, administrative,
European/international), in academic, professional and institutional contexts.
Papers may address aspects of language and law, also from an interdisciplinary
perspective, on any of the following broad theme areas:

legal discourse in the media

- pedagogy of legal language (LSP, ESP, EAP)

- plain language and the law
- other
