Abstract

The article focuses on analysing Eurolect as a linguistic phenomenon of the EU legal discourse. Special attention is given to reasoning its scientific labelling given to the phenomenon. Considering Eurolect a separate language system in the process of formation, its lexico-semantic and morphological features are studied in terms of its comparative analysis with the donor-language (English).
