Summary/Abstract: This article encompasses the semantic classification of performative verbs typical for the legal Polish and French languages and found in lexical constructions with Latin syntagmas of the prepositional type. Latinisms, treated as borrowed words, perform an adverbial function in both Polish and French. Their role is essential in communicating the meaning of the illocutionary act. A performative verb is frequently introduced by a deontic verb in legal normative texts, which proves there exists a modal element in a legal normative text.
