Francesco Romano, Antonio Cammelli
For several years, within the framework of institutional research aimed at the documentation of legal language, the Institute of Legal Informatics and Judicial Systems of the CNR has developed an information system (called Semantic Index for the Italian Legal Lexicon, IS-LEGI), used as operational support of the two historical databases: VOCANETLGI (Italian Legal Language) and LLI (Italian Legislative Language). Significant terms of the selections have been made that are attributed to the prevailing meanings, as well as a conspicuous appropriate phraseology to make better understand the semantic evolution that these entries have suffered during the centuries. Among the terms chosen deserves particular attention to the terms ‘cittadinanza’ and ‘corruzione’ that provides an important contribution for understanding the social changes and cultural influences that have taken place throughout Italy. The system attests the presence of these terms in the legislation, doctrine and practice in a time span ranging from 1377 to 1966.
