摘　　要：从"法制"角度看,法律语言体现国家权力意志,具有精英性和专业性的特点,是知识语码和知者语码的总和,属于典型的精英语码,其语义密度大、语义引力小,是一门专业语言。从"法治"角度看,法律语言并非法律人的专属语言,其受众群体为普通大众,因此应具有大众化和通俗化的特点,成为一门具有相对语码特点的"大众化"语言。本文运用合法化语码理论,在阐述法律语言专业性特点的基础上,着重从使用者的角度探讨其"大众化"的必要性及有效措施。In terms of legal system,legal language embodies a nation’s power will and is characteristic of professionalism. As a typical elite code,legal language consists of both knowledge code and knower code and is thus a typical professional language characterized with strong semantic density and weak semantic gravity. In terms of rule of law,however,legal language does not belong to legal workers exclusively. Therefore,it should be publicized and popularized because it is intrinsically oriented for the general public. In this sense,it should be a "popularized"language characteristic of relativist code. By employing the Legitimation Code Theory, this paper first expounds the professional features of legal language,and then focuses on exploring the necessity of and effective measures for the popularization of legal language from the perspective of users.
