LEGAL SEMIOTICS MONOGRAPHS, Vol. VII

Law and Language: The Italian Analytical School

edited by Anna Pintore and Mario Jori

translations by Zenon Bankowski, Simona Stirling and Anne Pirrie

Anna Pintore is Associate Professor of the General Theory of Law in the University of Cagliari
Mario Jori is Professor of the Philosophy of Law in the University of Milan

Italian legal theory, since Bobbio and Scarpelli, has made a distinctive contribution to modern jurisprudence, in analysing the constitutive, logical and significatory aspects of language for law, largely in the light of neo-empiricism and the philosophy of language. Most of this writing is unread outside the Italian-speaking world. This is the first collection of translations into English of leading articles from this tradition

This book will be essential reading for advanced students and researchers in jurisprudence and the philosophy of language
