Raising the Question of Law in Language

Abstract

The article shows a different approach (compared to the traditional one) to the paradigm of a public institution and to the development of a new epistemology, which replaces analysis (understood as a decomposition in the greek meaning of the word) and promotes synthesis and holism in the interpretation of law in language. It emphasizes that there are relationships between a public institution (law), language and cognition, where the role of language requires special study, especially in relation to mental activity. Modern scientific interdisciplinary approaches lead us to consider this phenomenon in the light of the paradigms of cognitivism (In connection with the interrelation and inseparability of language from thinking) and fractal semiotics (taking into account the “biosocial” function of language and the construction of an object of study from the position of an observer), representing these two public institutions as procedural, self-referential, self-organizing in their interaction with an observer.
