At the Second Thoughts Blog (from the Duke Center for Firearms Law), a guest blog series on Corpus Linguistics and the Second Amendment. From the announcement:
A few weeks ago, the Center hosted a virtual colloquium on Corpus Linguistics and the Second Amendment with experts who are at the forefront of the study of corpus linguistics and its application to a variety of legal questions. Approaching the issue from a broad range of interests, expertise, and backgrounds, these experts raised a host of interesting questions about the role of corpus linguistics in answering questions about the Second Amendment. We are excited to run a blog series with the incisive essays the participants generated and will be posting them here daily over the course of the next two weeks.
And here are the posts so far:
