In this paper\, I defend the view that legal interpretation is linguistic interpretation. Although the view might seem so obvious to many philosophers so as to not require a defence\, the view has recently come under sustained attack by some legal philosophers\, perhaps most prominently Mark Greenberg. I canvass arguments by Greenberg and others for rejecting the view that legal interpretation is linguistic interpretation\, and I argue that the arguments against the view fail. I suggest instead that the default view is and should be that legal interpretation is linguistic interpretation\, and I further suggest that the philosophy of language has the resources to adequately answer the challenges.
