General Overview on the Evolution of the Legal Albanian Terminology

Abstract

Studies on legal terminology in the Albanian language are rare and mainly focused on the vocabulary and its ways of word formation, but we will try to highlight characteristics of this terminology, cause it‟s a terminology that exists and is used by the Albanian judicial system as well as the state administration. Lectures of law carry not only a cultural dimension that is reflected in the words or terms of the legal system but in their ways of expression. The only way to express is through language and the language carries cultural and social elements of a society. In fact, studies that have been made in this field have shown that the legal terminology, depending on the various systems that our country has been through, is included in socio-political terminology or in state and administrative one. This article proposes a step back in time in order to see the evolution of this terminology with its main representative, the vocabulary of the legal terminology, and then go to its style and morphology and syntax characteristics. Keywords: legal language, socio-political vocabulary, word formation, morphology and syntax characteristics, the style of legal language.
