Summary/Abstract: The textualist overview of contemporary positive law reveals its unique lexicon and structure. Every legal statement holds value only through its deontic force, which is the ultimate goal of all legal research conceived as a collection of texts with their own morphology and integral parts. A legal concept is not synonymous with a legal notion, as only the former can be defined as an already established legal regime. This is our thesis, which also confirms the difference between legal doctrine and its epistemology. The antitheses will be synthesized to better refine our research, but also to avoid closing it off.
