Rusça Hukuk Diline Girmiş İslâm Hukuku Terimlerinin Kavramsal Çerçevesi
The Conceptual Framework of the Terms of Islamic Law in the Russian Legal Language

Summary/Abstract: Legal language is a unique form of communication full of technical terms and clichés. Even words used in everyday life can take on completely different meanings in legal contexts. For this reason, a branch of linguistics called legal linguistics has recently emerged in the field of linguistics. Modern Russia and Turkey use the same legal system. However, legal translation between the Russian and Turkish legal languages is a very challenging field. To produce a quality translation in this field, it is necessary to know the two national legal systems, the terms used, and the meanings of the clichéd expressions. It is noticeable that the number of common legal terms used in the Russian and Turkish legal languages is low. The reason for this situation is that the Turkish legal language is based on Islamic law, and most of the terms are of Arabic origin. There are terms related to Islamic law that are used in the Russian legal language. However, the introduction of these terms into the Russian language through borrowing may lead to changes in their meanings. Therefore, the main purpose of the research is to identify the terms of Arabic origin used in the Russian legal language, to compare them with the fiqh terms in terms of meaning, and to determine the changes in the meaning of the borrowed fiqh terms in the explanations. During the research, linguistic research methods such as document analysis, comparative analysis, and descriptive analysis were used. In addition to these research methods, component analysis and contextual analysis which are used in semantic research were also employed. As a result of the analysis, it was found that most of the fiqh terms in the Russian legal language have undergone phonetic changes. In some cases, these changes even make it difficult to find the equivalent of the terms among fiqh terms. Furthermore, the conceptual frameworks of the terms of Arabic origin were created, and it was concluded that the conceptual frameworks of many terms contain incomplete information compared to the fiqh terms. Some terms are included in the dictionaries of legal terms in order to provide more encyclopaedic explanatory information.
