Generic polymorphism of language in court judgments
Joanna Kowalczyk
Abstract
This article is devoted to linguistic ways of conceptualizing fragments of reality, which are subject to description in the texts of jurisdictional documents. The author answers the question whether the verbal form of expression corresponds to the convention of the official document. Based on the results of the research, the author identifies the causes, objectives and effects of using selected categories of speech.
The research method used was a pragmatic analysis. The textual samples were analyzed using the functional concept. The result of the research is the thesis that the language of court judgments is a combination of the three: legal language, jurisprudence language and doctrinal language. It was also a source of a communicational poly- morphism. The analysis showed that the style of speech in this case was determined on the one hand by the legislative acts, on the other – by the general and individual pragmatics of the court process.
