Refining the Selectivity of Thesauri by Means of Statistical Analysis

The importance of language and terminology for the law and the jurisprudence is beyond question because language is a central subject of a lawyer's work (Hatz 1963, Salton/McGill 1983). The particularity of the legal language is the use of a special vocabulary of legal terms which are used to express definite concepts. The presence of a particular term has specific connotations. Legal thinking is based on this vocabulary. The result is that legal language is more precise than natural language. An examination of the usage of legal terms in the different types of legal documents shows that certainty as well as ambiguity exists in the same domain or even the same document (i.e. the usage is normally more precise in statutes or judicial decisions but is often blurred in legal literature) (Allen 1982). Whereas lawyers are very skillful in handling this speciality of jurisprudence, the automatic representation of this meta-knowledge has been proved to be a challenging task.
