“可以”的语义及其在立法中的误用

The Semantics of "keyi"(可以) and Its Misuses in Legislative Discourse

从语言哲学的角度讲,"可以"一词具有多种可能的用法及语义,但作为一个立法用虚词却应当具有相对统一、单一的用法及语义,因为立法语言讲求的正是用词的准确性和一致性。然而,由于某些原因的存在,我国既有立法经验中存在一些关于"可以"的误用情形。随着我国法治工程的精细化,这些误用应当被揭示出来,也应当被修正。

The word ＂keyi＂（ 可以 ） has many uses and meanings from the perspective of linguistic philosophy, while as a legislative function word, ＂ keyi ＂（可以 ） has to be monosemous. In reality, many misuses of the word in China＇s legislation can be found. As China has been fine-tuning its legal and legislative system, these misuses should be made clear and corrected.
