Removing Ambiguity From A Legal Linguistics Perspective: A Study Of Legislative Examples/ رفع اللبس في ضوء اللسانيات القانونية دراسة في نماذج تشريعية
Abstract
Eliminating ambiguity is one of the most important linguistic objectives, especially in legal language, as it requires great clarity to prevent misinterpretation, misinterpretation, or misunderstanding.
This research aims to identify the means of eliminating ambiguity in legal language, relying on a sample of Saudi legislative models whose findings can be generalized to other legislative codes. The research relied on a descriptive-analytical approach to uncover the manifestations of ambiguity removal and the means used by drafters to remove it, in light of legal linguistics.
The research revealed the most prominent of these means: adherence to the form of the legal sentence, achieving the generality and abstraction of the legal rule, defining the framework governing its flexibility, linking homogeneous legal texts, strengthening the legal meaning by ensuring the accuracy and coherence of the literal and grammatical meaning, and employing grammatical controls to eliminate ambiguity.
