Estructuras nominales, verbales y oracionales del texto legal
Abstract
This paper presents a proposal for the formalization of nominal and verbal structures and the syntax of legal texts, focusing on the Spanish Constitution and the Autonomic Statute of the Region of Murcia. The theoretical basis is drawn from considering the Spanish Constitution as the thematic and verbal paradigm of the Statute, in both its discursive and textual design. This design is influenced by law topics, inherent to both texts, which show similar morphosyntactic structures and share the same high level of lexicalization.
