On the conceptualization of meaning in legal interpretation
By analysing selected case law, this chapter illuminates terminological implications of the courts’ interpretative methods. Emphasis is put on the rationales of last-instance courts, which detail reasons for the underlying decisions and are often steeped in linguistic contemplations. Demonstrating that the conceptualization of meaning in law has remained a focal concern in legal interpretation, it is examined to what extent courts deploy methods that are compatible with the principles underpinning the cognitive terminological approach. Indeed, courts resort to extralinguistic knowledge to determine the meaning of terms as, for instance, when ascertaining whether action figures are dolls or toys, thereby endorsing the perception of meaning as a dynamic process which involves conceptual knowledge. It is therefore argued that the application of terminology studies casts a different light on legal interpretation.
