...medium-neutral citation ( MNC ) A system of legal citation that does not depend on a particular publisher (e.g. ALR or CLR) or platform (paper reports or online). Law librarians encourage its use in judgments and academic writing but there are obstacles to using only MNC (e.g. the High Court allows citation of its decisions in a medium-neutral way when they have been published online but not printed (in CLR), but in proceedings before the Court, the CLR citation is required). Providing parallel MNC citations along with official reports is recommended....

...neutral citation for its judgments in 1998 , beginning with the first judgment delivered in that year. ‘Medium-neutral’ means that the citation is not tied down to a particular publisher's series of law reports—nor, indeed, to a printed ‘hard copy’ at all. This followed the trend in Canada and many US states, which encouraged the use of medium-neutral citations for their judgments. Paragraph numbers were incorporated into the body of the Court's judgments for pinpoint citation. This is because electronic page references often differ, and may be lost...

As a consequence of the increased availability of electronic copies of its judgments, the Court adopted paragraph numbering in its judgments from the beginning of 1998 to facilitate ‘medium neutral’ citation of the Court's decisions: that is, citation that does not rely on the pagination of a document by a particular word processing or page layout application. The Court's case management system has been designed to facilitate future enhancements. If the Court approved it, much of the data held...

...often called “neutral space” because signs made within it are not articulated with respect to any landmarks on the body. Neutral space serves a key function within the pronominal system of ASL. Deictic pronouns are fairly straightforward: the first‐person pronoun is a point to the center of the signer's own chest, and reference to the addressee or to a nonaddressed participant is indicated by a point to that person. Reference to nonpresent referents is more interesting: the signer can refer to such referents by establishing “loci” within neutral space. To sign...

For many years after 1066 , the Normans were commonly distinguished from their English subjects as French , a dichotomy sustained in...

The most cited author in English-language articles in monetary economics and economic fluctuations in the 1920s, Fisher vanished entirely from citation lists in macroeconomics in the 1940s, neglected in debates centered on Keynes. He never pulled his theories together in a grand synthesis: his monetary economics was not cast in the general equilibrium framework of his dissertation, nor was it fully integrated with his work on...

Finally, the prose-poem form of the work, its multiple discourses, and its collage and citation strategies, link this work to feminist experimental writing. Feminist readers thus have had a critical, though not, for the most part, formally radical poetry available throughout this time. This poetry has now been offered the literary-political accolade of...

Despite this caveat, there are several...
