Le syntagme prépositif latin — texte figé dans un texte libre français et polonais?

This presentation addresses the presence of Latinisms in French and Polish phrases of legal language. We distinguish Latin fixed sequences as phrases (paremias) and non-verbal syntagms (locutions). I will try to discuss the mechanism of incorporating Latin prepositional locutions (e.g. extra legem) in legal discourse, their role in phrases and moreover whether we can talk about intertextuality. I have defined the linguistic status of the prepositional syntagm as a “short fixed phrase”, their place (in word compounds and sentences) and their functions in the phrase (epithet function — raisonnement/wnioskowanie a contrario). I will try to answer the following questions : is there a semantic, syntactic or contextual dependence in the receiving language, are these linguistic phenomena the same for French and Polish legal languages?
