证据法学研究用语不规范问题初探

The Problem of Non-standardized Terminologies in Evidence Law Research and Study

法学研究强调逻辑的严谨性以及语言的规范性,作为法学分支学科的证据法学当然亦莫能外。但是,近年来方兴起的证据法学科,在我国开展的时日尚短,且一直与传统的证据学学科之间纠缠不清,以至于我国证据法学的学科体系迟迟不能建立,甚至连作为学科基础的基本概念都未能达成共识,缺乏统一性和规范性,理论研究和证据实务中用语不规范的问题一直存在,混用、误用基本概念和术语的现象较为普遍。这不仅影响到理论研究的严谨性,甚至干扰到实务操作的实效性。

The conscientiousness of logic and the standardization of terminologies are very important in the legal research and studies, and of course to evidence law, a sub-discipline of legal research. However, evidence law as a sub-discipline, is relatively new in China, and on the discipline level, there are confusions between evidence law and traditional evidence research. Therefore the academic system has not been setup yet, and consensus even failed to be reached regarding basic concepts. The problem of non-standardized terminology has existed for a long period of time in the field, and there are confusions and mistakes in basic concepts and terminologies. Such dilemma not only affects the conscientiousness of theoretical research, but also disturbs the effectiveness of judicial practice.
