THE THESAURUS OF LEGAL TERMS: SOME ISSUES OF THE STRUCTURE

Abstract

The article analyzes the essence of the legal thesaurus, defines its features, tasks and types. The structure of the legal thesaurus and the problematic aspects of the principle of work are discussed, issues related to its types and structure are identified. Recommendations on the use of a legal thesaurus have been developed, and prospects for the introduction of a general legal thesaurus in the rule-making process have been determined. The work on the thesaurus is substantiated using two directions: 1) directly – using a dictionary of legal material to form a thesaurus dictionary; 2) using the thesaurus itself to standardize legal terminology.
