基于语料库的立法语言语义研究

A Corpus-based Semantic Approach to Legislative Language

文章是以语料库为基础的对立法语言的初步研究。文章一方面从语义学的角度以立法实例区分模糊性、歧义性、多义性以及概括性等概念,另一方面从法学的角度探讨概括性、模糊性在立法中的价值。本研究表明立法语言中的模糊性、概括性是语言与法律现实相互作用的结果,也是法律多元化的内在要求,为立法相对稳定性以及司法确定性提供了空间。

This Paper is a preliminary corpus-based study on legislative language, on one hand, It distinguishes, with the aid of legislative examples, the concepts of vagueness, ambiguity, polysemy and generality from a semantic perspective; On the other hand, it focuses on the value of vagueness and generality in legislation from a legal perspective. This paper indicates that vagueness and generality result from the interaction between language and the law, and reflect the inherent demand for legal pluralism. They provide a room for the relative stability of legislation and judicial determinacy.
