Lithuanian and English Terms Defining Criminal Deeds and their Types According to the Degree of Seriousness
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The aim of the article is to discuss the main problems of comparative legal terminology, to suggest methodology for comparative analysis of legal terms and to apply it to a group of Lithuanian and English terms defining criminal deeds and their types according to the degree of seriousness. Legal terms define abstract legal concepts, which are closely related to national law traditions. They result from long discussions among politicians, lawyers and the general public and reflect moral values of a particular society in a particular period of time. Therefore, absolute equivalence between concepts from different legal systems is impossible as they may be only similar in their functions, but not completely identical.
