Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present the different functions assigned to the legal discourse, to see how to structure legal discourse, to measure how the performative structure allows unification of law and then clarify the differences between the performatives of ordinary discourse and those of legal discourse. The concept of discourse has acquired many meanings in everyday language and the discourse of experts claiming various fields. In our case it is the legal field, an area to which this paper is devoted. Law is a discipline that is directly concerned with the theory of speech acts whose promoter was J. L. Austin.
