Hrvatsko pravno nazivlje: pitanje opravdanosti novijih nazivoslovnih promjena u hrvatskom zakonodavstvu
Croatian Legal Terminology: The Issue of Justifiability of the More Recent Terminological Changes in Croatian Legislature

Summary/Abstract: This paper brings a challenge – both from the linguistic point of view and from the point of view of the legal profession – of the justifiability of terminological changes in the new Criminal Procedure Act (Official Gazette 152/08) in which the Croatian term for investigating magistrate – istražni sudac (i.e. the construction: possessive adjective + noun) has been replaced with the term sudac istrage (i.e. with the construction: noun + noun in genitive). Such terminological change is being put into correlation with the tradition of Croatian legal terminology, as well as with modern terminological principles used as starting point in the creation of terms.
