abstract = "{\textquoteleft}Crossing the Borders between Legislative Drafting and Linguistics: Linguists to the Aid of Legislative Drafters{\textquoteright} 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 {\textquoteleft}phronetic legislative drafting{\textquoteright}, 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.",
