針對一些對法律語言模糊性的錯誤看法,即認(rèn)為法律語言要盡可能減少甚至消除模糊語言,本文在對憲法、刑法及合同法條款研究的基礎(chǔ)上,主要采用定性分析方法,對法律語言的模糊性進(jìn)行了全面的語言學(xué)分析,旨在發(fā)現(xiàn)其語言上的語用規(guī)律及原因,由此得出立法者的真正意圖。本文首先根據(jù)語義學(xué)理論在大量例證的基礎(chǔ)上,主要從詞匯層面,對模糊性在語言上的實現(xiàn)做了分析并對法律條款中常用的模糊詞及模糊表達(dá)進(jìn)行了歸類。在此基礎(chǔ)上,本文分析了意義模糊引起的問題,如法律解釋的不確定性。作者進(jìn)一步運用格萊斯的合作原則和布朗與萊文生的禮貌理論對法律模糊語言進(jìn)行了語用學(xué)分析,得出法律語言模糊性的語用規(guī)律及立法者運用模糊語言的意圖。最后作者總結(jié)了模糊語言在法律中的語用功能。作者認(rèn)為法律語言的模糊性有其存在的客觀必然性,合理使用可以實現(xiàn)若干功能。
