Overview
Law, Language, and Legal Determinancy discusses the role of language within law, and the role of philosophy of language in understanding the nature of law. The book argues that the major re-thinking of the common and `common sense' views about law that have been proposed by various recent legal theorists are unnecessary.

Reviews
"`a densly-packed, yet subtle book ... his analysis is inclusive and succinct' Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies `This relatively slender and elegant volume contains an eighteen page bibliography with over 160 recent entries drawn eclectically from jurisprudence and the philosophy of language ... this is an excellent comprehensive work in general jurisprudence which can be recommended to general philosophers who want to get acquainted with law, and to law students who want to get in touch with salient themes in contemporary legal philosophy.' John Hund, University of the North Northern Transvaal, South Africa ""Bix is clearly a sublte and imaginative thinker, and potentially has a lot to say as a legal theorist. He has legal training and experience, so that the book is far more informed by the details of practical legal reality than is often the case for jurisprudence at this level of abstraction."""
