MEANS OF LEGAL TERMS SYSTEMATIZATION IN LAWMAKING

Abstract

The article draws attention to the existing theoretical and applied problem of the systematization of legal terms in lawmaking. The authors focus on general (logical processing of information, information processing based on preferences and beliefs) and special (classification, formation of thesaurus, modeling) methods of systematization, sequentially revealing their contents. Particular attention is paid to the classification of legal terms, which plays a leading role in the process of their systematization. With the help of classification, terminological series can be built, and terminological apparatuses can be formed in the legal text, from which the legal terminological system is composed. The authors classify legal terms on the following grounds: functional-stylistic features, the sphere of use in the legal language, the method of formation, the content of the concept corresponding to the legal term and the possibility of its different language implementation, activity, the time of use, the way of reflecting the content of the corresponding concept, the language as a source of the appearance of the legal term, the field of application, the form of use in the legislative text and etc.
