Ambiguous Attributive Connections and the Czech-German Parliamentary Dedaration

Vol.5,No.1(1997)

Abstract
Attributes in legal texts are analysed with respect to possible ambiguous readings. Two possible types of ambiguity are defined: the syntactic type and the semantic type. Examples of both types are given, concerning both the natio­nal law and the jurisprudence of the World Court. It is shown that the Czech-German Parlamentary Declaration is influenced by the ambiguous reading of the law 115/1946 Sb.

This specific ambiguity refers to the semantic type. The consequences of the dífferent readings of the law are analysed in the paper.
