Linguistic and Legal Comprehensibility of the Text
Original language description
The present article pays attention to the comprehensibility of the legal text. Comprehensibility is discussed here both in the legal context as a requirement for the legal language enshrined in the Czech legislation, and from the linguistic point of view as a requirement for the legal language within its functional style. The practical analysis of comprehensibility is performed here both on the basis of objective measurement of certain elements of the text using the formula LIX and subjective measurement using the Hamburg model of comprehensibility, on the example of the text of criminal law. This linguistic analysis is followed by its understanding in Czech law and the case law of the Constitutional Court. The analysis shows that linguistic and legal comprehensibility form one whole and the basic precondition for the comprehensibility of a legal regulation is its accessibility.
