摘要：This article examines the use and functioning of phraseological units in the language of law, and more specifically, in the discourse used to formulate arguments and to explain reasoning in court decisions. To do so, after a brief introduction to justify the importance of this subject at the academic level, we present the taxonomy of the phraseological units followed in the article, as well as the peculiarities of the different legal genres. A second part deals with the phraseology units that structure the court decision and conform their textual superstructure. Finally, the third part tries to relate the conceptual organization and the orientation of the argumentative intention through the methodology of the legal syllogism.
