The article substantiates the idea that one of the factors of the development of legal science, in particular legal technology, is the degree of development of its categorical and conceptual apparatus. As one of the reasons preventing its formation is called inherent in any language property - polysemy. On the example of studying such a category as fiction, refracted through the prism of law, the negative consequences caused by its ambiguity are demonstrated. It is concluded that there is a need for a clear distinction between the existing meanings of words in the course of the formulation of special legal terms.
