We are open to submissions on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to: -applications of corpus linguistics to the constitutional, statutory, contract, patent, copyright, trademark, probate, administrative, and criminal law in any state or nation; -philosophical, normative, and pragmatic commentary on the use of corpus linguistics in the law; -triangulation between corpus linguistics and other empirical methods in legal interpretation; -the relationship between corpus linguistics and pragmatics (e.g. implicature, presupposition, sociolinguistic context); -corpus-based analysis of legal discourse or topics; -best practices in corpus design and corpus linguistic methods in legal settings.
