论法律英语准确性和模糊性-毕业论文.doc

On Precision and Vagueness of Legal English 摘 要 法律英语是指以英语为法律语言的普通法国家在立法、司法及法律实施过程 中所使用的一种语言,作为一种规约性语言分支,法律英语有其独特的特征。本 文拟将以语体学、法律语言学及模糊语言学的现有研究成果为基础,以立法语言, 司法语言和法律实施过程中的语言为研究对象,采用例证法和对比分析的方法, 对法律英语的准确性和模糊性进行系统的研究。 国内外专家学者多从词汇方面探讨法律英语的准确性,而忽略了其他层面的 研究,因此本文在对法律英语准确用词进行研究的同时,还将从句法方面对法律 英语的准确性做进一步的探讨。法律英语中,长句、复合句使用频繁,且大部分 的句子均为陈述句。平行结构的广泛使用同样体现了法律英语的准确性。 目前还很难找到专门论述法律英语模糊性的书籍,而且诸多相关研究基本上 还停留在表面层面,因此本文将对其进行深入研究。法律英语的模糊性主要体现 在词汇方面。在法律条文和司法实践中,模糊的名词、形容词、副词、并列连词、 数字俯拾皆是。法律英语的模糊性是由事物特征的持续变化,法律语言的概括性 及国籍、地理、文化的多样性引起的。模糊性可以提高法律英语的灵活性,满足 立法需求,并使法律语言在某些情形下变得文雅含蓄,但如果使用不当的话,法 律英语的模糊性也会产生一些消极影响。 通过系统论证,作者得出结论:准确性和模糊性是法律英语的重要内在特征, 二者既是对立的,又是统一的,在某种条件下还可以相互转化。 关键词:法律英语;准确性;模糊性 ii 中南民族大学硕士学位论文 Abstract Legal English is a kind of English variety used in legislation, judicature and the enforcement of laws in common law countries, which have the tradition of expressing law in English. As a kind of customary language, legal English has its own specific features. Based on the present achievements on stylistics, forensic linguistics and vague linguistics, this thesis is to make a systematic research on precision and vagueness of legal English by adopting the methods of exemplification and comparison and by analyzing the legislative language, the judicial language and the language in the enforcement of law. Domestic and overseas experts and scholars mainly study precision of legal English from the lexical level, and ignore other aspects, this thesis therefore is to explore precision of legal English from not only the lexical aspect but also the syntactic aspect. In legal English, long and complex sentences are frequently used, and most of them are affirmative sentences. The extensive use of parallel structure also reflects precision of legal English. At present it is difficult to find any published books on vagueness of legal English, and most related research still rests at the superficial level. Consequently, this thesis aims at making a deeper investigation on this aspect. Vagueness of l
