Survey and Analyze of the Legal Language in Iran in the light of Modern Scientific Languages

Since language is the basis for all human interactions and since science as an action takes place in the context of language, this paper intends to analyze the characteristics, changes, and fluctuations of the legal language in Iran in the light of modern scientific languages. For this purpose, first of all such concepts as modernity, scientific spirit, and scientific language and its characteristics will be examined as an introduction to the subject. The significance of the legal language and legal terms is not less than the legal science itself. As we proceed, we face such questions as follow: how does the language of law in Iran as a scientific language make its scientific terms and vocabulary? Does it depend on Persian language or Arabic language? Which efforts have been made in order to fertilize the legal language? Although some unsystematic and inconstant efforts have been made to use Persian terms and vocabulary (which will be analyzed as part of the fluctuations of the legal language in Iran), it can be said that the legal language in Iran depends heavily on Arabic language.
