This paper elaborates the language features of legal English by examining its diachronic development,namely,prescriptiveness,objectiveness,specialty and depersonalization.

In the process of its synchronic development and change, the character“ge”(个), on the one hand, keeps its initial grammatical function as a pure quantifier; on the other hand, its quantitative meaning has gradually become weaker in some syntactic forms, with the result that it develops into a grammatical marker of structural auxiliary as a function word.
