Particularly noteworthy are the jurists’ discussion of lexical meaning, regional differences, the pragmatics of spoken communication, and speakers’ linguistic errors.

Abstract

The author identifies many points of contact between the writings of grammatici and the jurists who put their theories to use in resolving concrete legal difficulties. Particularly noteworthy are the jurists’ discussion of lexical meaning, regional differences, the pragmatics of spoken communication, and speakers’ linguistic errors. The Digest is shown to be a rich repository of meta-linguistic reflection about different kinds of linguistic, drawing on and supplementing ancient grammatical sources.
