刑法语言的明确性与模糊性逻辑分析

Logical Analysis of Explicitness and Ambiguity of Criminal Linguistics

成文法主义之下,刑法规范体现为以语言文字为载体的法律文本,明确性与模糊性构成了刑法语言的两个基本属性,明确性体现了刑法刚性的要求,模糊性体现了刑法弹力的需要。模糊性并不必然损害刑法的明确性,刑法明确性的追求也不能以牺牲刑法公正为代价,应当谋求二者之间的衡平,实现罪刑法定原则的要求。

In doctrine of statutory law,criminal norms are manifested as legal texts with language and words as carrier. Explicitness and ambiguity constitute two basic natures of criminal linguistics ,of which explicitness reflects the rigid requirements of criminal law while ambiguity reflects the requirement for flexibility. Ambiguity does not inevitably undermine the explicitness of criminal law.The explicitness can not be pursued at cost of sacrificing justice of criminal law.Balance between explicitness and justice of criminal law should be advocated,which reflects the principle of nullum crime sine lege.
