在法律的历史进程中,语言一直起着决定性的作用,但是在法学研究中语言一直被片面地定义为一种工具或技术。立足于语言与法律的历史,全面认识和把握语言对于法律的意义,指出并论证语言对于法律的意义不仅仅是习惯的标记、权利的明示和规范的表达,法律的本体就是语言。在法治社会的语境中,语言、法律、正义三者最终必然走向“三位一体”。 Language has always played a decisive role in the legal history of the world, but in jurisprudential research language has been one-sidedly defined as a tool or technique. Based on the history of language and law, we can fully understand and grasp the significance of language to law, point out and demonstrate that the meaning of language to the law is not only the mark of custom, the expression of right and the norm, but the body of law is language. In the context of rule of law society, the three languages, law and justice will inevitably move toward the “Trinity”.
