Legal term in the legal environment and beyond
Abstract
The article considers the existence of legal terms within the legal environment and outside the language of law. The difference between the terms of various professional spheres is revealed, the specificity of the terminology of the social sciences is established as a means of reducing not only professional, but also social knowledge. The legal term is studied as one of the types of special lexical means having a number of additional functions, foregrounded under the influence of the specifics of legal relations. The features of the functional specificity of the legal term are established both at the level of synchronous interaction of subjects of legal relations, which ensures the significance of the regulatory function of legal terms, derived from the regulatory and protective functions of law, and at the level of diachronous impact, when the axiological function is updated. The features of various types of legal terms are identified and analyzed: common, special technical, special legal. It is also noted that in the conditions of the development of modern society, legal terms are widely spread due to their inclusion in the media outside the legal environment. This often does not lead to an increase in the legal awareness of citizens and, on the contrary, provokes, given the false motivation in the minds of native speakers, the mixing of the semantics of common words and terms, modifying primary meanings in a new discourse. The discourse, in which there are commonly used and special technical legal terms, largely subordinates them to its laws and transforms them in the minds of speakers, leaving them the opposite understanding. The use of legal terms outside the legal environment should be subject to the logic of their legal existence not to the laws governing the functioning of the new discourse.
