Abstract
The linguistic turn in twentieth century’s philosophy, as well as pragmatist trends in contemporary linguistic research, have significantly changed the theory of legal interpretation. The emergence of new streams within social and cultural studies, pointing to the importance of the context of any interpretive event, has also significantly influenced the approaches, methods, and imagery of legal interpretation. This chapter examines how the linguistic turn has in recent years affected the theory and practice of international law and international courts and tribunals, in particular in terms of a departure from the predominantly positivist interpretive tradition. This gradual change is associated with new types of challenges for adjudicators that the intensifying globalization processes in law have created. Besides the judicial activism and the dynamic interpretation style that have turned international adjudicators into writers rather than readers of the law, globalization has also affected the practice of legal interpretation in other ways. This chapter demonstrates how acting across a multiplicity of languages and legal traditions, comparative law, legal translation, and multilingual interpretation have become necessary elements in the interpretive practice of international courts and tribunals.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
