This investigation offers a comparative view of how two different languages/legal frameworks regulate and textualise statutory provisions on international commercial arbitration. The increasing relevance of this extra-judicial alternative to courtroom disputes, especially between companies or corporations, makes arbitration an interesting example of how linguistic and cultural facets interact in specialised contexts within a given community of use. Italian and international UN legislation are assessed and compared from this perspective, in a topical area which has been largely neglected by applied linguists.

Abstract
This investigation offers a comparative view of how two different languages/legal frameworks regulate and textualise statutory provisions on international commercial arbitration. The increasing relevance of this extra-judicial alternative to courtroom disputes, especially between companies or corporations, makes arbitration an interesting example of how linguistic and cultural facets interact in specialised contexts within a given community of use. Italian and international UN legislation are assessed and compared from this perspective, in a topical area which has been largely neglected by applied linguists.File allegato/i alla scheda:
