Summary/Abstract: As we know, German is a pluricentric language with national variants/centers, which inrelation to the language of law also differs due to the different legal systems in variousGerman-speaking countries. Austrian civil code (ABGB), in force since 1811, is almostan entire century older than its counterpart in the Federal Republic of Germany (BGB),which came into force in 1900. This time gap also entails differences in the languageof the two codes.The aim of the article is to show common features as well as differences within the collocationin German and Austrian civil code, which until now, were almost entirely leftoutside the research area.
