ABSTRACT: When normative authorities (that is to say, “Legislators”)
assume the task of assigning the meaning of normative texts, they use,
fundamentally, two techniques: these are called “interpretative laws” and “legislative
definitions”. In this study, relating to the research “problems of production
and normative performance”, we deal with the analysis of definitions in the
legal field.
