From a describtion of nominalizations in legal texts

This paper deals with a nominal group (NG) of contemporary legal texts which have the form of statutes. The linguistic analysis based on the syntactic model with semantic rudiments. The author researches the anaphoric relation between nominal groups and sentences which are linearly prior to these groups. The nominal groups are products of the morpfological nominalization – substantivization. The analysis provides observation about restrictions in the formalization of elements of the semantic base whose elements can be connected with the use of nominal group. The author describes the different effects of nominalization, for example: condensation of content (from a very pure content of syntactic units to the cumulation of content in syntactic units), the tendency to autonomize the language (the disconnection of language and reality)
