Terminologia prawna w aspekcie normatywnym

Abstract

This text deals with the problem of procedures for adjudication on the correctness of terminological expressions used in legal texts. In particular, it argues about the need of distinguishing three types of units – those compatible with general units, motivated by general units, and affecting the form and the meaning of general units. Expressions, that belong to each of the above distinguished types, require separate standardisation procedures. Apart from fundamental considerations, the issue of the status of terminological expressions in legal texts as well as their relation to general units is discussed.
