Summary/Abstract: The article touches upon a significant issue relating to the pragmatic valency of verbs. Its main purpose is to show the factual implementation of the syntactic requirements of verb valency in German and Polish legal texts. The author not only analyses the syntagmas involving the main verbs and their valency patterns, but also the numerous cases of filled and incomplete valency implementation, as well as the examples of “valency expansion”. The results of this analysis are compared with the results of the previous studies by the author on valency implementation in magazine articles, ads and poetry.
