COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF TERMS RELATED TO “WILLS” AND “TRUSTS” IN GEORGIAN AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES (ACCORDING TO “THE CIVIL CODE OF GEORGIA”, “COMMON LAW” AND THE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA)

Abstract

Problems associated with the transference of the property acquired pressing urgency with the change of political life of Georgia (from Socialism to Capitalism). The drastic changes of Georgian political and economic systems cause the creation of new institutions. On-going processes influence the sphere of law and its terminology. The establishment of new legal institutions facilitates the emergence of the so-called “empty gaps” – the unnamed elements of the system of concepts. Therefore, it is of particular importance to formulate the system of basic terminological units and clarify their precise meaning. The given paper offers the comparative analysis of the terms related to “wills” and “trusts” in Georgian and English languages according to the data of the contemporary monuments of law. It shows the similarities and differences of Georgian and English terminological systems. Therefore, the necessity of the creation of new lexical units (in order to “fill” the so-called “empty gaps”) is singled out and revealed.
