“…He appeals several times to MacCormick, who says that it may be impossible to completely reject the metaphor of weighing, “provided we recognise that it is a metaphor” (MacCormick , 186). In turn, MacCormick cites Twining and Miers (, 364), according to whom in the dialectical process one argument can be found more convincing or stronger than another, and these preferences are defensible even though no objective measurement is possible, but so long as there are criteria recognised by the disputants.…”

Este trabajo bosqueja una teoría analítica y realista de la interpretación jurídica. Analítica, en el sentido que su método es el análisis lógico del lenguaje de los juristas. Realista, en el sentido que, por un lado, sostiene que el derecho es indeterminado y, por otro lado, representa la interpretación desarrollada por los jueces como una actividad intrínsecamente discrecional. En la primera parte, se introducen las distinciones fundamentales entre: interpretación “in abstracto” e interpretación “in concreto”; interpretación cognoscitiva, decisoria, y creativa; interpretación en sentido estricto y construcción jurídica. Esta última distinción tiene una importancia especial: la interpretación en sentido estricto consiste en atribuir significado a un texto normativo, mientras que la construcción jurídica consiste (esencialmente) en formular normas nuevas, que se pretenden implícitas en el sistema jurídico. En la segunda parte, se analizan, en su estructura lógica, las más difundidas técnicas argumentativas por las cuales los juristas suelen justificar sus operaciones interpretativas y constructivas.

“…The ratio decidendi can be understood only in relation to other texts, so that it is of a , Anne-Marie BARRAULT-MÉTHY -68 -shifting nature. Harris (1997), quoting Twining and Miers (1982), mentions the "buried treasure fallacy" (Twining & Miers, 1982, cited by Harris 1997, with rules having no fixed verbal form or standard way of posing the issues. The discourse of law is seen to proliferate across legal and paralegal genres, issues and national and international contexts.…”

Summary. Research in English for Legal Purposes (ELP) has expanded in the past30 years, in parallel with the increasing attractiveness of transnational legal education. The present paper aims at observing how ELP research has dealt with the issue of globalisation of law studies, considering that legal taxonomies remain largely national. The analysis expands on the application of Anthropological Structures of the Imaginary (ASI) theory (Durand 1969) to a language policy context to describe the positioning of ELP researchers and law experts in relation to each other. Focusing on the notion of posture, an the analysis of images in a corpus of 68 ELP research papers suggests that the theme of obscurity lies at the heart of ELP research discourse. Power-related images fall into the four broad categories of animality, depression, the fall and the labyrinth. The contribution of ASI theory to the study of the micropolitics of ELP thus appears to be two-fold. ASI theory sheds light on the metadiscourse on power that runs through ELP research and that helps understand agents' positioning. ASI theory applied to ELP research eventually sheds light on the aporia (Glanert, 2005) Legal English researchers and law experts are faced with in an English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) context.
