Abstract:  The ability of the human mind to describe the reality in many aspects manifests itself through terminological ambisemy. The ambisemantic ambiguity of terms is due to the differences in the schools of thought, linguistic personalities, and chronological shifts. In this article an attempt is made to explain the phenomenon of ambisemantic legal terms in the US Supreme court discourse. Three possible ambisemantic mechanisms are discussed.

Keywords:  ambisemy, law term, collective linguistic subject, judicial discourse, US Supreme Court, anthropocentrism
