Extract
This volume investigates the linguistic and discoursal properties of legal documents used in international commercial arbitration contexts, focusing on their construction, interpretation, and use in international arbitration practice. The aim is to provide a better understanding of legal language seen from an international perspective, in particular with a focus on cross-cultural factors in the context of international arbitration practice. The work presented in this collection has been accomplished with the support of a Competitive Earmarked Research Grant awarded by the UGC Research Grant Council in Hong Kong (project No. 9040474 entitled Generic Integrity in Legislative Discourse in Multilingual and Multicultural Contexts). Contributions in this volume are drawn from, but not restricted to, the presentations made at the international conference in Hong Kong (2–4 October 2003) on Law and Language in International Arbitration, where members of this international research project presented their findings to a wider community of legal and arbitration scholars and practitioners. The conference was organized by the RGC funded CERG project and co-sponsored by Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, The WTO Law and Dispute Resolution Centre and the Department of English and Communication, City University of Hong Kong. The editors gratefully acknowledge the support given by these organisations. The volume represents a unique collection of contributions, bringing together not only linguists and legal academics, but also arbitration practitioners. The editors gratefully acknowledge the participation of these established scholars from these related fields to contribute to this multidisciplinary understanding of the use of language in international commercial arbitration. We fully appreciate the time and effort they have spared to make this project a successful example of international and multidisciplinary collaboration. Special thanks are also due to Dr Jane Lung for willingly offering all the editorial assistance to make this volume possible.
