SYNTAGMATIC DERIVATION IN LEGAL FRENCH: NOTIONS OF SYNAPTATION AND SYNAPSIE
Nina Cuciuc[1]
p. 109 - 122 Abstract
The theoretical concept advanced by E. Benveniste contributed to the acknowledgement of a special status for lexical syntagmas as units of functioning within the discourse and the language. Starting from the Benevistian postulate of synapsy, we define a new procedure of lexical formation – synaptation – which we designate as a basic procedure in the syntagmatic derivation in our technical scientific languages. We have found that synaptation is the most productive procedure in the formation of terms in specialty languages, because it turns out to be a complex denotative construction, which allows for the detailed specification of the designate and for the series classification by their distinctive features.
Keywords: legal language, synaptation, sinapsy, synaptic junctors [1]Nina Cuciuc, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at “Mihail Kogălniceanu” University, Iaşi, Romania; contact: nina_cuciuc.at.yahoo.com |
