摘要
精确性是立法语言的灵魂,而模糊性又是语言的本质属性之一,立法语言中究竟应当如何认识、把握、协调这两种特性之间的关系,值得深究。通过创建英国成文法语料库,依赖于语料库的分析路径,围绕情态模糊限制语这一语言现象,我们得以透过观念的误解和事物的表象,清晰地看到:立法语言内蕴的"模糊性"是无法回避或消除的;这些"模糊性"极强的情态模糊限制语具有其他词语所不可替代的语用功能;较通用语言而言,立法语言中的情态模糊语的情态意义更明确,更具有强调意义,以便概括复杂多变的法律现象,从而保证法律的广泛适用性,进而实现法律的精准性和权威性。
Accuracy is the essence of legislative language while ambiguity is the intrinsic nature of language,which arouses the question of how to perceive the relationship between these two characteristics and make them harmonious with each other.By building the corpus of the UK Statue Law and attemding to the usage of modal hedges,we can penetrate some traditional perceptions and superficial phenomena to arrive at the following conclusions.First,ambiguity is unavoidable in legislative language.Second,the modal hedges with strong ambiguity can't be replaced by other ones for their pragmatic functions.Last,compared with general language,the modal hedges in legislative language have stronger and more accurate modality to generate various legal phenomena and ensure the accuracy and authority of the wide application of the law.
