The Multilanguage Complexity of European Law |

Methodologies in Comparison |

The contributions presented at the Conference 'Approaching the
Multilanguage Complexity of European Law: Methodologies in Comparison'
(European University Institute of Florence, 17th November 2006) offer a
wide spectrum of analyses and reflections on the multilanguage complexity
of European law, drawn from different disciplines as European law,
comparative law, legal theory, jurilinguistics, legal translation, and knowledge
engineering.
The diverse but complementary methodologies emerging within such
disciplines need to be integrated for handling legal knowledge in a way
which respects the conceptual and linguistic diversity of the existing legal
traditions while guaranteeing the unity of European law. An integrated
multidisciplinary approach to multilingual legal knowledge can indeed
enable European lawyers and policy-makers to better understand each other
and to improve their understanding of legal language.
