Project description
The implications of linguistic policies in EU jurisprudence
The influence of diverse linguistic practices on the formulation and interpretation of ambiguities is crucial in shaping the semantic understanding of opinions, with implications for the development and interpretation of EU law. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the LAAGO project aims to analyse linguistic ambiguity in English and Italian opinions issued by the Advocates General (AGs) of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). This study will specifically examine the semantic implications of lexical and structural ambiguities arising from three distinct linguistic practices: first-language text production, second-language text production, and translation. The project will investigate three corpora of opinions in each language, each corresponding to one of the linguistic practices.
Objective
This cross-disciplinary project analyses linguistic ambiguity in English and Italian Opinions of the Advocates General (AGs) of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).The study focuses on the use and semantic consequences of the lexical and structural ambiguities produced by using three different linguistic practices: text production in a first language, second language text production, and translation. Three corpora of Opinions per language (representing the three practices) will be analysed using a mixed methodology of corpus-based and manual methods to identify and compare linguistic ambiguities and their consequences in the semantic interpretations of the texts. The outcomes will show the impact of different linguistic practices on the use and production of the ambiguities, hence on the Opinions' semantic interpretation, highlighting that it necessarily has implications for the development and interpretation of EU law. This is vital to understand the repercussions of the linguistic policies in EU jurisprudence.
