Abstract

Legal language is a language that is quite difficult to understand, seems to be rigid, and the sentences cannot be restructured due to its formal and normative characteristics. As a language, the legal language has specific characteristics in its terms. Legal language is loaded with literal meanings and accurate definitions that make it do not load with ambiguities to achieve law assurance. It is intended to support its normativeand institutional characteristics, and get the tight force power in order to uphold the truth and justice to make society live in order and peacefully. Indonesian legal terms were originated from Dutch,and few from Latin, applied in accordance with the standard.Anambiguouslanguage might produce multi-interpretation that makes it not able to achieve the objective. Basically, interpretation can be a bridge to remove the gaps between objects formulated and the formulation. Interpretation acts as a function of written law to produce a formulation, while legal text it self is a formulation in the form of language signs organized in a norm system. Semiotics approach is one of the approaches to interpret and get understanding legal text. For Indonesian law practitioners, producing easily understood legal text will help Indonesianshave highly lawawareness and obedience.
