Abstract. The article analyzes the Russian-language and English-language legal terms of three lexical-semantic groups - crime, causing death and taking possession of others’ property. The authors find out that the content of the Russian and English criminal law notions, denoted by equivalent, at first glance, legal terms, often do not coincide, can be included in each other or overlap. Understanding such phenomena, dictated by differences in legal systems and cultures, is considered as an integral element of quality legal translation.
Key words and phrases: уголовно-правовая терминология, правовое понятие, содержание и объем понятия, американский английский, британский английский, criminal legal terminology, legal notion, content and extension of notion, American English, British English
