'Language and Legal Interpretation in International Law' sheds light on the complicated process of language interpretation that adjudicators (judges and arbitrators) and legal practitioners adopt when they act within international legal systems. The book also analyses the role that language and the diversity of languages and national legal cultures plays in different international legal systems.

International law is usually communicated in more than one language and reflects common norms that lawyers and adjudicators across national legal cultures agree on and develop together. As a result, the negotiation of the wording and meaning of international legislative texts is an integral part of legal interpretation in international law. This book sheds light on that essential interpretation process.Language and Legal Interpretation in International Law treats the subject from the perspective of recent legal and linguistic theories of meaning. Anne Lise Kjær and Joanna Lam bring together internationally renowned experts to provide strong theoretical and practical foundations for the study of legal interpretation in such fields as human rights law, international trade, investment and commercial law, EU law, and international criminal law. The volume explains how the positivist tradition--in which interpretation is understood as an automatic process by which judges simply apply the text of legislative instruments to specific fact situations--cannot be upheld in an era of pragmatic and cognitive meaning theories. Those theories instead focus on the context of interpretation and on the interpreter as a co-producer of meaning. Through a collection of thoroughly researched and timely essays, this book explores the linguistically and culturally diversified world of meaning-making in international law.

Kontrastive Lexikologie ist als Grundlagenwissenschaft der zweisprachigen Lexikographie für metatheoretische Zwecke und praktische Wörterbucharbeit unentbehrlich. Dabei scheint sie ein etwas vernachlässigter Bereich der Linguistik zu sein. Der Sammelband enthält die Beiträge des diesem Thema gewidmeten Werkstattgesprächs, das vom 29.-31. Oktober 1994 in Kopenhagen unter der Leitung von Hans-Peder Kromann (+ 1995) abgehalten wurde. Die Beiträge behandeln grundlegende Fragen des Kontrastierens (lohnen sich Wortschatzvergleiche überhaupt oder sind sie wegen der Anisomorphie der am Vergleich beteiligten Sprachen und Kulturen letztendlich unmöglich?) sowie die Methodik des Kontrastierens (zur Gültigkeit lexikologischer Untersuchungen, von der 'Optik' und 'Mikroskopie' des Sprachvergleichs). Außerdem werden die Ergebnisse durchgeführter kontrastiver Untersuchungen vorgelegt.
