Its theoretical and methodological importance lies in showing that many questions asked within the field of language and law receive satisfactory answers from formal linguistics. The book starts with a paper by the two editors in which they explain why the volume - as a whole and with its individual papers - is an innovation in the field of language and law. In addition, an overview about the most important research projects on language and law is given. The first chapter of the book is on understanding the law. Jurists and laypersons always ask for the precise meaning of a certain piece of the law. In linguistics, the discipline investigating 'meaning' is semantics; thus, it is to be expected that semantics can contribute to a correct understanding of the law. Chapter 1 also investigates the alleged incomprehensibility of legal language with the help of psycholinguistics. Chapter 2 is on identifying the criminal. To find the author of a blackmailer's letter, text/ corpus linguistics is instrumental. If the blackmailer uses the telephone instead of the letter, speaker identification and phonetics are necessary. The BKA stores all blackmailing letters in a database, but databases are only one possibility of organizing legal systems; another possibility is the application of tools from computational linguistics and artificial intelligence. These tools can be useful to handle terminology, to retrieve information, or to model legal theorizing in a formal system. Chapter 3 demonstrates a variety of examples of organizing legal systems. The topic of chapter 4 is multilingualism and the law. The European legislation is a product of legal and linguistic diversity, as the member states do not only differ in languages but also in their legal systems. One paper shows how Switzerland handles its multilingualism in legal drafting. The input of translation studies is of course vital in this field of research. An index for both subjects and persons complements the volume. 410 0$aTrends in linguistics.$pStudies and monographs ;$v212. 606 $aLaw$xLanguage 606 $aLaw$xInterpretation and construction 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLaw$xLanguage. 615 0$aLaw$xInterpretation and construction. 676 $a340/.14 701 $aGrewendorf$b Gu?nther$0162368 701 $aRathert$b Monika$f1972-$0978268 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456713503321 996 $aFormal linguistics and law$92456337 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03902nam 2200757Ia 450 001 996211814503316 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-08771-1 010 $a9786612087714 010 $a1-4008-2543-1 024 7 $a10.1515/9781400825431 035 $a(CKB)1000000000756286 035 $a(EBL)445566 035 $a(OCoLC)362614713 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000145692 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11148292 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000145692 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10157306 035 $a(PQKB)10430457 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse36289 035 $a(DE-B1597)446513 035 $a(OCoLC)979834597 035 $a(OCoLC)984686431 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781400825431 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL445566 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10284219 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL208771 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC445566 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000756286 100 $a20021118d2002 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEmblems of pluralism$b[electronic resource] $ecultural differences and the state /$fCarol Weisbrod 205 $aCourse Book 210 $aPrinceton, NJ $cPrinceton University Press$dc2002 215 $a1 online resource (232 p.) 225 1 $aThe cultural lives of law 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-691-08924-8 311 $a0-691-08925-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $t Frontmatter -- $tContents -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tIntroduction -- $tPART ONE: Monumental Federalism -- $tPART TWO: The Peaceable Kingdom -- $tConclusion -- $tIndex 330 $aFrom outlawing polygamy and mandating public education to protecting the rights of minorities, the framing of group life by the state has been a subject of considerable interest and controversy throughout the history of the United States. The subject continues to be important in many countries. This book deals with state responses to cultural difference through the examination of a number of encounters between individuals, groups, and the state, in the United States and elsewhere. The book opens the concepts of groups and the state, arguing for the complexity of their relations and interpenetrations. Carol Weisbrod draws on richly diverse historical and cultural material to explore various structures that have been seen as appropriate for adjusting relations between states and internal groups. She considers the experience of the Mormons, the Amish, and Native Americans in the United States, the Mennonites in Germany, and the Jews in Russia to illustrate arrangements and accommodations in different times and places. The Minorities Treaties of the League of Nations, political federalism, religious exemptions, nonstate schools, and rules about adoption are among the mechanisms discussed that sustain cultural difference and create frameworks for group life, and, finally, individual life. At bottom, Emblems of Pluralism concerns not only relations between the state and groups, public and private, but also issues of identity and relations between the self and others. 410 0$aCultural lives of law. 606 $aCultural pluralism$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 606 $aState, The 606 $aPolitics and culture$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCulture and law 615 0$aCultural pluralism$xHistory. 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 615 0$aState, The. 615 0$aPolitics and culture$xHistory. 615 0$aCulture and law. 676 $a305.800 700 $aWeisbrod$b Carol$0866645 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996211814503316 996 $aEmblems of pluralism$91934555 997 $aUNISA
