| Summary: |
Scholars who study the social constitution of law have increasingly
come to appreciate the importance of language in legal processes. This
review considers the question, what difference does this attention to language
make? I discuss a number of ways of approaching language, suggesting
that some are more useful than others for social and legal
analysis. In particular, I focus on the contribution of anthropological
approaches and two recent works: Getting justice and getting even: legal
consciousness among working-class Americans, by Sally Engle Merry,
and Rules versus relationships: the ethnography of legal discourse, by
John M. Conley and William M. O’Barr. The first section of the essay
gives an overview of anthropological and linguistic approaches. The second
section focuses on the study of language and law. |
