Comparative law and eu legal language: Towards a european restatement?

Abstract

Despite the ongoing developments in comparative law studies, European legal language is still in want of responses with regard to its own characteristics and impact in the Member States. This article suggests an interdisciplinarity perspective, that of comparative law and semiotics, as well as the observation of the normative forces grounding the practices of EU law in the Member States. As a dialogical conclusion, a Restatement, will be suggested, where EU concepts could be channelled. This intellectual tool could be relevant in legal education too and favour the institutional dialogue among national and European actors of the multilingual legal process.
