Abstract
the article is devoted to the abbreviation as one of the ways of derivation of legal terms in the modern English language. In the given work there is an attempt made to estimate efficiency of abbreviation as a way of formation of legal terms in the English language, to determine main structural types of abbreviated notions (abbreviations) used as legal terms in the modern English language, as well as to examine correspondence of these very models (structural types of abbreviations) to particular types of law concepts. The material for the research comprises legal terminology that has been obtained due to the method of continuous sampling in the course of analysis of legal professional literature (monographs, course-books, parliamentary acts, books of court reports, specialized dictionaries, etc.). English legal terms are studied from two perspectives: logical-conceptual and linguistic, therefore this paper takes a linguistic-conceptual approach to the study of terms. The conducted research allows us to come to the conclusion that abbreviation is not only the way of derivation of law terms to express notions of this field of knowledge, but also has a system-forming role, which can be noticed in the correlation of structural types of abbreviations and certain legal concepts.
