Abstract
This paper introduces a framework of conceptual structures allocated to statutory expressions during interpretive heuresis. Drawing from cognitive science research on conceptual structures, the study seeks to enhance existing computational models of legal reasoning across various domains. A comprehensive set of conceptual structures applicable in statutory interpretation is reconstructed. This framework increases awareness of potential interpretive options and contributes to the transparency of legal reasoning.
