Lecture Series Lectures

This talk will include an overview of the ââ'¬Ëœlaw and corpus linguisticsââ'¬â"¢ movement, using examples from empirical studies related to the original meaning of the now nearly obsolete word 'emolument', as well as several of the linguistic canons of construction, concluding by proposing a set of key principles that should guide linguists as they apply their expertise to legal questions.
