Legal Language in the Legislative Text (The Case Study of the Bill on Higher Education and Science)

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to determine whether the text of the act is edited in such a way that legal clarity is possible under conditions of legal certainty and predictability of citizen behaviour when applying the act. The bill: law on higher education and science is written in legal language. The genre pattern of the text maintains a normative procedure which is mutual to all legal orders. The text is performative because it is an act of law making. It is also normative because it sets general legal norms. In this article, the author assumes that the basic legal concept is the legal relationship.
