English Criminal Law Terms: Typological Approach

English law terminology has been an object for numerous studies both in Russia and abroad and is becoming more and more important nowadays. However, the variety of the branches of law that encompassing very different notions and terms causes a certain difficulty for a terminologist. A comparative-contrastive study of law terms (which is directly connected to such a field as comparative law) is often not a study of terms themselves but a study and comparison of judicial systems. Furthermore, if a scholar considers English-speaking countries, there is a need to distinguish between the British (English) Law and American judicial system. Comparison of the Anglo-Saxon system (also known as Common Law, or Case Law system) with the Statutory Law (that of Russia) implies a careful study of these two completely different systems, as well as a thorough typological analysis of various specific features the terminology possesses, including morphemic, morphological, etymological, collocational and other characteristics. Such an overview allows seeing clearly the ways the terminology under study has been formed and its ways of development. The article is concerned with the most prominent features that are typical for English Criminal Law terminology.
