Legal interpretation has occupied legal practice and theory for centuries. Ever since Plato’s Laws, the question of what the law is— and who or what determines the meaning of laws— has been one of the central issues of legal philosophy. In the history of legal theory, the answers to those questions have differed, with emphasis either on the legislator, the text, or the judge, reflecting also the different methods of interpretation adopted in the different legal cultures of the world. Recent scholarly developments in law’s neighbour disciplines have brought about changes in the understanding of legal interpretation. The linguistic turn in philosophy of the twentieth century, as well as pragmatist trends in contemporary linguistic research, focusing on the interpreters’ reception and application of the legislative text rather than its content, has significantly changed the theory of interpretation. The emergence of new streams within social and cultural studies pointing to the importance of the context of any interpretive event has also significantly influenced the approaches, methods, and imagery adopted by legal practitioners and scholars interested in the issue of legal interpretation.
