Lexicology. Lexicology is a study of words both in written and spoken forms and it consists of syntactic and morphological properties. It follows that it studies properties of words from the point of view of grammar and meaning, the history of words, as well as their changes through the time and the occurrence of new words (Hall, Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx 2011, 249). Lexicology is considered as fundamental part of the analysis because the prior goal of this analysis is to analyse the terminology appearing only in the EU corpus. The corpus of the EU is relatively young, and many words were until the foundation of this institution unknown. Concerning the translation, terminology and hence lexicology is as well the most crucial concept because translated terminology needs to convey the same meaning in all languages into which is the translation made.
Lexicology. The legal lexicon is full of archaic words and common words with uncommon meanings (Cao 2007, 21). As far as concerning vocabulary with respect to international instruments, it is essential to know the significance of words when it comes to legal context. The primary distinguishing feature of legal language is terminology, including technical terms borrowed both from ordinary language and foreign languages. Another requirement is the requirement of synonyms, whose occurrence should be kept to a minimum because technical language should be as accurate as possible and there should not be any doubt about the intended meaning (Hlouch 2011, 68). Unlike general language, in legal language is not possible to find interjections nor emotionally coloured words (Xxxxxxx 2003, 47).
Lexicology. Terminology and vocabulary of legal texts, especially those belonging to the primary source of law, are the essential parts when the legal texts are analysed because even one word may cause misinterpretation. It is because norms are carrying rules of conduct and they set to us what is permitted and what is prohibited (Harvánek et al. 2008, 97). For the usage of the analysis have been chosen individual Titles of documents, concerning the General provision which is an integral part of each regulation. General provisions are considered as something like an introductory part where there are set principles according to which is governed whole act. It consists of terminology which is strictly necessary for the interpretation and application of the legislation as a whole. Subchapters are analysing the texts as a whole, what type of terminology is used, foreign terminology and archaisms.
