Bridging cognitive linguistics and legal theory, this book argues that categorisation is a crucial cognitive operation for the application of law and that theories of categorisation are relevant to legal theory. It focuses on problems of semantic analysis in law, both in particular court cases and in methods of statutory interpretation.
