SPECIAL ISSUE ON "COGNITION, MEANING MAKING, AND LEGAL ARGUMENTATION"
This is an invitation for a special issue of the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law. The issue should comprise papers on the cognitive or knowledge oriented aspects of the socially-situated process of constructing meaning from legal sources (statutes, contracts, …) that legal specialists perform when engaging in legal argumentation (for example when writing judgements or law review articles). Contributions based on empirical research into the actual cognitive processes of legal experts are especially welcome, as well as other types of scientifically based papers on the relations between meaning making through legal argumentation and cognitive or knowledge oriented factors like knowledge structures, metaphors, or individual knowledge bases, just to mention a few examples.
Only original and unpublished articles will be considered. The refereeing process follows the normal double blind review process of the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law.
Date of submission to the editors (Abstracts): 1 August 2009.
