HISTORICAL REASONS FOR THE TERMINOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE NEW CROATIAN PENAL LEGISLATION

U radu se s povijesnog aspekta analiziraju provedene terminološke promjene u novom hrvatskom kaznenom zakonodavstvu. Novo kaznenopravno nazivlje i nazivlje iz jugoslavenskog razdoblja uspoređeno je s hrvatskim kaznenopravnim nazivljem prije 1929. godine, odnosno prije unifikacije nazivlja u Jugoslaviji. Usporedba je pokazala da su mnogi "novi" hrvatski kaznenopravni nazivi zapravo stari, ali da su bili potisnuti u jugoslavenskom razdoblju, tj. bili su zamijenjeni nekim srbizmom ili internacionalizmom pod srpskim utjecajem, kako je bilo u srpskom kaznenopravnom nazivlju. Zaključuje se da se u novom hrvatskom kaznenom zakonodavstvu prednost daje potiskivanoj hrvatskoj riječi, ali se nazivlje hrvatskog kaznenog zakonodavstva usavršava na vlastiti način i kritički se odnosi prema tradiciji.From the historical point of view the paper analyses the terminological changes that have been undertaken in the new Croatian penal legislation. The new terminology of the penal legislation and the terminology from the Yugoslav era are compared to the Croatian penal legislation terminology before 1929, that is, before the unification of the terminology in Yugoslavia. The comparison revealed that many of the "new" Croatian penal legislation terms are actually old, but that they were repressed during the Yugoslav era, that is, they were replaced by Serbisms or internationalisms under the Serbian influence, as it was in the terminology of the Serbian penal legislation. The paper concludes that in the new Croatian penal legislation the preference is given to the repressed Croatian words. However, the terminology of the Croatian penal legislation is being perfected in its own way while taking a critical view of the tradition
