This article argues that the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), a tribunal serving twelve independent primarily Anglophone Caribbean states, uses a variety of linguistic techniques in its pursuit of a regional future. Created upon a complicated (post)colonial landscape and charged with resolving the nonsovereignty of its member states, which, for the most part, continue to utilize the United Kingdom's Privy Council for their final court of appeal, the CCJ does not view sovereignty as a solution. Instead, as I demonstrate through several examples of the Court's use of, talk about, and abstention from language, the CCJ's judges and employees seek to constitute a yet‐to‐be‐fully‐defined nonsovereign region that carves out a Caribbean people, pointedly rejects ongoing British legacies and logics, refuses to adopt the legal practices associated with sovereignty, and strives to remain untethered to either nation‐state or suprastate. [law, language, sovereignty, region, Caribbean]

法律,语言和非主权加勒比地区

本文认为,加勒比法院(CCJ)是一个服务于12个主要为加勒比英语国家的独立国家的法庭,在追求地区未来时会使用多种语言技巧。在复杂的(后)殖民地景观下创建并负责解决其成员国的主权问题,在大多数情况下,这些国家继续利用英国枢密院作为其最终上诉法院,因此,CCJ并不将主权视为一种主权。解。相反,正如我通过法院对语言的使用,谈论和弃权的几个例子所表明的那样,CCJ的法官和员工试图构成一个尚未明确定义的,将加勒比人视为平民的非主权地区。拒绝持续存在的英国遗产和逻辑,拒绝采用与主权有关的法律惯例,并努力保持与民族国家或超国家的联系。[法律,语言,主权,地区,加勒比海]
