言词原则是英美法系诉讼法中的一项基本原则。它与英美法中的对抗主义、陪审团制度和传闻证据排除规则密切相关。英美法国家的民事诉讼改革及其案件管理制度扩大了法官的诉讼干预权,压缩了对抗主义诉讼文化的生长空间,对言词原则也造成了侵蚀。言词原则既有民主的一面,也有奢侈的一面。我国在引进和实施言词原则时,应考虑我国本土的诉讼模式和现状。 The principle of speech is a basic principle in the procedural law of Anglo-American law. It is closely related to the rules of exclusion, jury system and hearsay in Anglo-American law. The civil lawsuit reform and its case management system in Anglo-American law countries have expanded the judge’s right of intervention in litigation, reduced the growth space of counter-litigation litigation culture and eroded the principle of verbalism. The principle of verbal both democratic side, there are luxury side. When introducing and implementing the principle of verbalism, our country should consider the domestic litigation mode and current situation in our country.
