The close relationship between the semantic and syntactic elements of legal discourse implies the handling of a specific terminology, which, without being eminently lexical, is adequately combined with technolects, connectors and deontic operators for the full interpretation of its sense and meaning. so that ambiguities are avoided. In this perspective, the norms contained in books IV, V and VI of the Peruvian Civil Code have been analyzed. The analysis has been carried out based on norms of standard articles, in terms of structure and significance of the legal norm, which has made it easier to specify elements of semantic-syntactic indeterminacy that show ambiguities, incorrect use of punctuation marks and inappropriate use of connectors. "e" and "and". The most relevant conclusions reached are: the elements of semantic-syntactic indeterminacy in the Peruvian civil legal norm lead to the unilateral interpretation of the norm for its application, generating discrepancies in the light of jurisprudence and legal pragmatics and the relationship semantic-syntactic present in the legal norm implies the individual knowledge of the words, in terms of their sense and meaning of the discursive context in which it is used.
