metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: While the communicative approach to the law is spread widely today, characteristic of legal
  communication are still purely described and weakly researched. Linguists and experts in theory of communication are not involved in discourse of legal notions and practice of law,
  whereas jurists are not ready to step out of this discourse. This article represents an attempt
  to overcome these difficulties and to find in law necessary parameters (focusing on the figure
  of addressee), being equipped with the methodology of communication theory. Resuming
  analysis of the substance and conditions of legal communication, the author concludes that
  recognized in the contemporary linguistic interaction model of communication with some
  limits are applied to the legal communication. Law does not suppose that content of legal acts
  (messages of legal communication) is determined solely by intention and will of addresser.
  Interpretation of legal acts is an important part of the mechanism of law and it needs active involvement
  of addressee, though unlike in communication of other types, the addressee cannot
  enjoy the full freedom of interpretation of text, aliened form the addresser. In law, this would
  raise a risk of violation the equal protection — fundamental principle of law. Addressees of
  legal acts are either executors or enforcers of legal prescriptions. Interpretation of enforcers
  tends to be coordinated and unified, leading to forming of collective enforcing addressee.
  Anyway, the execution of legal prescriptions is to be volitional and conscious, therefore the
  executors should keep the role of direct addressees as well, though their interpretation of legal
  acts will be subordinated to that of enforcers. The non-normative acts in the most cases (excluding
  non-reception one-sided deals and private applications to public authorities) have one
  main addressee, while the circle of potential addressees remains indefinite.
