Substanţa normativă a definiţiilor legale
Normative substance of the legal definitions

Summary/Abstract: The abundance of explanations and definitions present de lege lata is also noticed from a superficial look at the contemporary legislation. In these lines, we have tried to find the place of the legal definitions in the formal normative set, investigating whether these rules are or not basically legal rules. After detecting a presumption of normativity applicable to any normative act, we have made a distinction between the law as a discourse and the discourse about law, assaulting the legal metadiscourse, for the purpose of calculating the deontic force of the legal definition in a more accurate manner. The study ends with certain proposals to state the definition and order it.
