Brian Bix (University of Minnesota Law School) has posted Legal Interpretation and the Philosophy of Language (Peter M. Tiersma & Lawrence M. Solan (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Language and Law (Oxford University Press, 2012)) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
The article gives an overview of issues at the intersection of legal interpretation and philosophy of language: including American legal realist and critical legal studies claims of legal indeterminacy, applications of Wittgenstein's rule-following considerations and metaphysical realist theories to legal reasoning, H.L.A. Hart's theory of "open texture," and the role of intentions in (constitutional and non-constitutional) interpretation.
