The Importance of Being a Linguist: Critical Legal Thought in Central Europe
Original language description
Critical legal theory was established in the American legal thought and offers a unique picture of law. It points out the problems of cultural hegemony or cultural imperialism. This chapter presents slightly different picture of critical approach. It focuses on the problem of language and consciousness of critical legal theory in the East (or Central) Europe. One of many possible problem of critical legal thought in the Central Europe is the problem of language. The world's arena for critical discussion is framed by English language. This language context has observable consequences: cases, examples or concepts are then derived from English - American legal environment. Furthermore, such a language and cultural orientations are inevitable for success in quantitative measures of science or for entering the international forum. Language and social context are inseparably connected to law.
