Il Drafting
2012
La qualità della redazione dei testi normativi, tanto nel contenuto, quanto nella struttura, costituisce un'esigenza che connota anche la produzione normativa delle regioni. In particolare presso l'Assemblea della regione Sicilia opera dal 2008 un apposito Comitato per la qualità della legislazione che, insieme al servizio delle Commissioni, rappresenta un supporto insostituibile per le Commissioni consiliari e per la stessa Aula. Esso interviene nel corso del procedimento di formazione delle leggi e dei testi unici, formulando un parere relativo alla omogeneità, chiarezza, proprietà di formulazione, nonchè all'efficacia dei testi ai fini del riordino e della semplificazione della legislazi…

Gender Neutrality in Legislative Drafting Techniques. Where conventionality in English Language Meets Creativity in a Diachronic Perspective
2019
Over the last decades, proposals to modernise legislative drafting have been choral and among the specific causes generally mentioned there are sentences of undue length, overuse of archaic expressions, repeated definitions and expressions, partiality of nominalisations, lack of gender neutrality. The aim of this analysis is to explore the legislative techniques adopted by drafters of English-speaking countries over the last decades, who are asked to write legal sentences aiming at gender fair and symmetric representation of men and women. The issue examined from a lexico-grammatical perspective culminates in the proposed questions whether certain techniques used to implement gender-neutral…

The challenges of Language: re-shaping legislative discourse(s) and text(s)
2015
Since the 1990s the discourse on the relationship between the EU and member states in the field of labour law has changed significantly and it has been increasingly supplemented by framework agreements between the EU and the actors involved in the labour law dialogue. From this point of view, the Green Paper on Modernising labour law invites member states, the social partners and other interested parties to participate in a consultation process and an open debate, in order to look at how labour law can help promote flexibility in conjunction with security, regardless of the type of employment contract. The aim of this paper is to explore how the labour law interactants re-shape their discou…
Crossing the Borders between Legislative Drafting and Linguistics: Linguists to the Aid of Legislative Drafters
2012
‘Crossing the Borders between Legislative Drafting and Linguistics: Linguists to the Aid of Legislative Drafters’ is the focus of the co-authored article by Helen Xanthaki and Giulia Adriana Pennisi. In her discussion, Helen Xanthaki claims that linguists provide a useful contribution to ‘phronetic legislative drafting’, on account of common areas of interaction where lexico-grammatical and discourse analysis help to understand the meanings and functions of text production. This is then examined by Giulia Adriana Pennisi who draws on the institutional legal discourse enacted in the Treaty of Lisbon to argue for divergent – yet indeed uniform – constitutional principles and values.
Legislative Drafting e linguaggio: ipotesi di semplificazione del testo normativo
2016
l’ipotesi su cui si basa il presente articolo è che la disciplina della linguistica applicata possa dare un valido contributo al miglioramento della scrittura legislativa. recenti studi linguistici dimostrano che i legislative drafters spesso non colgono l’essenza dei concetti politici che hanno il compito di comunicare, proponendo un metodo attraverso il quale questi ultimi possano raggiungere tale obiettivo e di verificarne l’adeguatezza e rispondenza alla volontà del legislatore. l’analisi proposta dagli autori del contributo identifica nella chiarezza, nella precisione e nella univocità gli strumenti necessari al raggiungimento di tale scopo; applica prove linguistiche ad una serie di t…
Theory and Practice of Legislation Journal in Volume 2, Number 2, November 2014.
2014
This special issue of The Theory and Practice of Legislation presents one of the outcomes of the project launched at the Sir William Dale Centre by Prof. Helen Xanthaki and Dr. Giulia Adriana Pennisi in 2013 and entitled Legislative Drafting and Language. The projects investigates the crossroad between legislative drafting and language/linguistics with the aim to open a new agenda: the use of teachings from the discipline of linguistics in applications useful and relevant to legislative drafting. An example of the results gained thus far are the two workshops on “Legislative Drafting and Language” that took place at the IALS in June 2013 and June 2014 respectively, and witnessed the partici…
