The methodological framework of this study centers around the language expression of specialized concepts. The observed predications refer to legal actions for the purpose of establishing and contesting filiation in the French and Polish legal systems. We observe a strong use of nominal action predicates and an almost exact equivalence of expressions with the terms in question.
