Arcane Linguist

Chapter 78 Final interpretation right
"What... what does this mean?"

"Your Majesty Nomos, why did you invite him to sit in the auditorium behind the defendant, that is the relatives and friends of the defendant!"

The two devils said inconceivably.

"According to the "true knowledge" of this court, this person is the chief authoritative expert of Seres officially certified by Art Rhine, and has the authority to attend the trial of this case as an expert witness. "

The voices of the ancient gods floated in the plane court.

"Protest, protest!"

After recovering, the two devils said quickly.

"We doubt the impartiality of the other party's testimony and cannot refer to his opinion!"

"Yes, his expert opinion is not convincing!"

Digigomo was a little confused.

"Protests are invalid, and witnesses are not subject to the recusal system."

The ancient gods ruthlessly reminded them of this fact.

"Outrageous!"

"It's outrageous!"

The two devils were furious.

They were not stupid. When they saw that Roland was selected as an expert witness, they had a premonition of what would happen next.

Unfortunately, it cannot be stopped at all.

"Hahahaha!"

Scudder laughed.

The corners of Froya's and Yiwen's mouths also curled up, fully understanding Orvisto's defense strategy.

He is familiar with the laws of hell and the divinity of Nomos, the god of law. From the very beginning, he saw through the intentions of the two devils on the other side, and guided them skillfully.

After his opinion that he wanted to attend was rejected, he immediately resorted to Roland as a backup.

In fact, among the people present, Yiwen also has the expert qualification certified by Art Rhine.

She has corresponding attainments in both the fields of Celestial Language and Elven Language, because the terms of Celestial Language and Elvish Language in this contract have already been carefully designed, and there is no room for development.

But Roland is different!

Seres is different too!
This language is still very new to Alteraine, this universe and all planes.

And Roland is the inventor and creator of the Seres language, and has been certified by Arterine as the chief authoritative expert.

The final right of interpretation... belongs to Roland!
All kinds of knowledge in the wizarding world are profound and complex, and expert opinions are often extremely authoritative.

The plane court also follows this principle and attaches great importance to expert testimony.

This is because even gods are not omniscient and omnipotent.

"Although the God of Law has fallen, the Kingdom of God is still there, and there is still some will left. Don't give false testimony in His Kingdom of God."

Orvisto ignored the furious devil and whispered to Roland who was about to testify in court.

Roland nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, teacher, I know it well."

The ancient voice said: "Please invite Roland, the chief authoritative expert on the Seres language, to testify in court."

Roland stood up confidently.

Resolving text ambiguity, sometimes, is indeed not so easy.

Generally speaking, it needs to rely on contextual context, multilingual comparison and so on.

Legal documents made to achieve legal meaning, as well as magical contracts, etc., need to be confirmed again and again, and detailed explanations are made by adding various pre-definitions, supplementary explanations, examples, and conclusions.

If polysemous language units are used, or fallacies in grammar and rhetoric, or even punctuation marks, sentence reading, and emoticons, will distort and destroy the original intention of the intended expression, resulting in unexpected consequences.

(Note: Some people use emoticons in chat records, which cause misunderstandings, and there are also precedents. For example, if a gesture is more than an OK emoticon, some judges consider it as an expression of consent, but there are also precedents that recognize it as an invalid expression)
There are serious loopholes in the contract signed by Skold this time.

At this time, Roland's speech means absolute right to speak!

"Respected His Majesty Nomos, Seris is a very efficient and flexible language, but sometimes, this flexibility may also cause some ambiguity and misunderstanding..."

In the solemn and majestic court of the plane, Roland spoke eloquently.

He started with this, and then explained again what he had explained to Froya, Skold, and Egwene.

This characteristic of Chinese has been criticized by some people in later generations.

It will be even more troublesome if you encounter polyphonic words, homophones, synonyms, and antonyms.

Someone once tried to express the profoundness of the Chinese language by using "Shi's history of eating lions" and "big defeat and great victory" on the Internet, but was criticized for being unclear and ambiguous.

But this kind of thing needs to be viewed dialectically.

It is precisely because of the flexibility of the Chinese language that it creates a lot of beauty in artistic conception, which is endlessly memorable.

If you want to express accurately, pay attention to avoid vague statements, and pay attention to contextual restrictions and contextual connections.

But right now, what Roland needs is just blur.

Enough ambiguity to allow room for maneuver.

"...Therefore, I think that, literally speaking, it is impossible to judge whether it is Skold who borrowed gold coins from the other party, or the other party borrowed gold coins from Skolde.

My conclusion is that the ambiguity of the contract exists objectively, and two meanings exist simultaneously.

Finished speaking. "

In an instant, the majestic aura like a mountain locked on Roland.

Roland felt that several magical spells like "suggestion of integrity", "lie detector", and "detection of thought" had fallen on him.

God is not omniscient and omnipotent, and the fallen God of Law is even more unable to do so.

But the powerful magic can at least ensure that all things cannot play with the law in front of him.

Even a full-level mortal with a level of up to 20.

"Witness, can you guarantee that your testimony is correct, without any defects in integrity or professionalism?"

The voice of the ancient gods floated in the court, full of supreme majesty.

"On behalf of myself, I would like to guarantee the authenticity and authority of the above statement."

The divine light remains unchanged.

"The testimony of the witnesses has been clarified, and this court pronounces the verdict here."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but all stood up, listening to the voice of the ancient god with solemn expressions.

"The contract involved in this case applies the ambiguous elements of 'unclear agreement' and 'multiple interpretations', and based on comprehensive factors such as popular semantics, expert testimony, equality and voluntariness, the principle of knowing, and specific terms, it is ruled to be invalid!

At the same time, the defendant's claim (Exipp borrowed gold coins from Skold) was dismissed.

Now, close the court! "

"Boom!"

The hammer fell heavily, and the dull sound reverberated in the surrounding world.

With the announcement of the voice of the ancient gods, divine power enveloped both sides.

While it destroys the contract held by both parties, it also sends both plaintiff and defendant back to...  

Where!

In the same place in the same place!

Exip watched the Digigo demon he summoned disappear, and then he reappeared in Skold's house again, and he couldn't help being completely dumbfounded.

With a plop, the devil from hell knelt down on the ground without any backbone, and said flatteringly, "Master, please spare me!"

　Ask for all kinds of support!Especially follow-up!
