Matching, mismatching and rematching: literal interpretation in legal and literary argumentation

Abstract

Starting, on the one hand, from the existence of literal interpretation in the legal and literary spheres and, on the other hand, from their different status in these fields of study, the following question arises: how can a meeting point between the status of the literal interpretation method be possible between the fields of law and literature? To that end, it is necessary to have a perspective of argumentation pragmatics in general, in attempt to reveal a meeting point between literal interpretation in legal and in literary argumentation.
