Abstract:  The current study aims at exploring the major patterns of diachronic variation of English doublet law terms in US Supreme Court decisions. The article identifies three diachronic patterns of terminological variability: the patterns of simultaneous and intermittent co-occurrence of doublet terms, as well as the pattern of total displacement. It also highlights the factors influencing the variability, such as the orientation features of law terms, the specificity of meta-representation process and the terminology conventions of the case law.

Keywords:  variation  ◆  doublet  ◆  law term  ◆  judicial discourse  ◆  US Supreme Court
