Introduction
The purpose of law in Indonesia by the mandate of the constitution is to form an Indonesian state that protects the entire Indonesian nation and all Indonesian bloodshed and to promote the general welfare, educate the nation's livelihood, and participate in carrying out world-order based on independence, lasting peace, and social justice (Hamidi et al., 2012).
Social justice has a broad interpretation, including in terms of justice in its true essence, including in-laws and regulations (Hasanah & Irwan, 2019).The formation of laws and regulations in Indonesia has several stages until it is passed (Fadli, 2018).The long debate regarding the content of the drafting of the Law involved many components of both academic and legislative (Ali, 2017).Regulatory reforms that have been organized by the Directorate of Regulatory Analysis based on socialization "Utilizing APEC-OECD Integrated Checklist for Regulatory Reform Assessment" is substantially an effort to improve the quality and effectiveness of laws and regulations to realize orderly laws and regulations and legal certainty for the community and seekers of justice (Hamidi et al., 2012).
Improving the quality in the formation of laws and regulations requires concrete efforts.Using the word straightforwardly and clearly by the framers of the Act affects the quality of legislation (Riana & Junaidi, 2018).The formulation of legislation uses words that look biased and not straightforward in tone (Haris et al., 2023).The use of words such as "dan/atau" in several laws and regulations in Indonesia seems biased and makes it difficult for justice seekers and justice enforcers to grasp the true meaning (Husin, 2020).
Lawmakers need proper language in formulating legislation.Language is the only tool for a law-maker to formulate a will (Bruggink, 2011) and there is no standard and straightforward language, the realization of laws that are by the mandate of the constitution will not be possible to realize.
Word conformity and some of the drawbacks of legislation that are difficult to avoid are the use of appropriate words and more than one word in each meaning (Susanti, 2020).The phrase contained in "dan/atau" is a form of sentence that indicates grammatical ambiguity in the chapter (Milka & Palino, 2021).The use of language in the making of laws and regulations needs to have an explanation of each word that gives rise to the interpretation of every word in the legislation (Huda & Nazriyah, 2019).Understanding the phrase "dan/atau" aims to facilitate law enforcement in the transportation sector, especially on highways (Dewi & Putra, 2021).
So in that case it is necessary to deeply strip the meaning of the word "dan/atau" in the legislation.The use of the word "dan/atau" which causes interpretation and problems when used by justice seekers and justice enforcers, including those contained in several laws and regulations in Indonesia, namely the Undang-Undang Nomor 22 Tahun 2009 tentang Lalu Lintas dan Angkutan Jalan (UU LLAJ), Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2008 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (UU ITE), and Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2009 tentang Perlindugan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup (UU PPLH).The meaning of "dan/atau" will be embodied in depth below.

Method
This study was formed in a qualitative descriptive method with doctrinal legal research types and uses a research approach, namely a statutory approach (statute approach).The statutory approach (statute approach) is an approach using legislation and regulation (Marzuki, 2017).This data was chosen because the source of data used in the Indonesian Law and Regulations in Indonesia including the Undang-Undang Nomor 22 Tahun 2009 tentang Lalu Lintas dan Angkutan Jalan (UU LLAJ), Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2008 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (UU ITE), and Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2009 tentang Perlindugan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup (UU PPLH) there are many words "dan/atau" in these three laws that create a lot of ambiguity regarding the application of the law regarding existing cases.The phrase "dan/atau" in the articles in the three laws and regulations ambiguous law enforcement officials, so there needs to be a discussion that discusses the meaning in terms of language and law, namely the field of forensic linguistics."The data analyzed is the connecting word "dan/atau" contained in the three laws and regulations in Indonesia".

Findings and Discussion
The meaning of the article needs to be significant in explaining in understanding the concurrent contextualization of the position in law and government (Affandi, 2017).Some articles in the ITE Law still give rise to multiple interpretations (Yusman & Riendy, 2022), in this case requires an indepth study of the interpretation of the legal meaning in the Article (Khalid, 2014).
The meaning of phrases in articles in several laws will make law enforcement understand and easily implement any legal problem resolution (Rini, 2018).Explanation of the meaning of the Article is important for law enforcement to understand (Isima, 2022).From the data obtained from the Laws and Regulations of the Republic of Indonesia in three laws, namely Undang-Undang Lalu Lintas dan Angkutan Jalan (UU LLAJ) (Indonesia, 2009) 1 illustrates that the words "dan/atau" are the two highest frequency grammatical words found in the Laws of the Republic of Indonesia.The grammatical word "dan/atau" the first highest frequency is contained in the (UU PPLH) of 262 frequencies.The second highest frequency in the grammatical word "dan/atau" is found in the Road Traffic and Transport Act (UU Lalu Lintas dan Angkutan Jalan) of 189 frequencies.For grammatical words "dan/atau" which has the third highest frequency lies in the type of UU ITE Act of 74 frequencies.Pay attention to the percentage diagram of the use of the word "dan/atau" in Undang-Undang LLAJ, Undang-Undang ITE, dan Undang-Undang PPLH below.

On data (8), usage "dan/atau" is used to give choices, and affirmations, as well as detail the meaning of the previous word, phrase, or sentence.First, the word "dan/atau" is used to relate phrases describing people who commit acts of evil plans that give rise to disease.Second, the word "atau" is an option over the Act as well as the licensing of the Ministry of the Environment.Third, the word "dan" refers to a sentence of at least one year, a maximum of three years, as well as a fine of at least one billion rupiah, and a maximum of three billion rupiah.From this can be obtained information the word "dan" can be obtained to correlate statements related to penalties for offenders.Note the following data (9).( 9) "Setiap orang yang melakukan dumping limbah dan/atau bahan ke media lingkungan hidup tanpa izin sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 60, dipidana dengan pidana penjara paling lama 3 (tiga) tahun dan denda paling banyak Rp3.000.000.000,00(tiga miliar rupiah) (Pasal 104)."

(10) "Setiap orang yang melakukan usaha dan/atau kegiatan tanpa memiliki izin lingkungan sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 36 ayat (1), dipidana dengan pidana penjara paling singkat 1 (satu) tahun dan paling lama 3 (tiga) tahun dan denda paling sedikit Rp1.000.000.000,00(satu miliar rupiah) dan paling banyak Rp3.000.000.000,00(tiga miliar rupiah) (Pasal 119 huruf b dan huruf d)." In data (10) there are several uses of the word "dan/atau" that mark the textproducing evaluation of the reality of environmental protection and management.First, the word "dan/atau" is used to touch the object of the person who acted.Second, the word "dan/atau" is used to clarify the action in the form of an action without having permission from the relevant party.Thirdly, the word "dan" is used to detail the punishments imposed for offenders characterized by the presence of phrases "pidana penjara", and "denda", as well as the nominal amount to be paid by the offender.Thus, the connecting word "dan/atau" is treated as "dan" based on the official website of the "Badan Pengembangan dan Pengembangan Bahasa Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan".It can also be treated as "atau".
Ira (2018) states that the word "dan/atau" has a definite meaning and provides an efficient way of stating a deliberate choice between one or both propositions, but every part of the legal profession has vehemently criticized the term.Therefore, the use of "dan/atau" instead of "dan/atau" is often depicted without slashes (/) between the words "dan" and "atau".This spelling is not accepted.The spelling error of hyphens seems to be caused by the assumption that there is no difference between oral and written Indonesian.As a result, people write what they hear (oral diversity), not what they should write.In the written variant, the integrity of punctuation is very important so that what is written is not interpreted differently.
The meaning of spoken variety sentences is supported by the context of the conversation, but not supported by the written variety.There are differences in the interpretation of the conjunction"dan/atau" in the penal code.
Thus, the word "dan" is a conjunction, the word connector (connective), or aditif (additive) which has the meaning of togetherness (Dickerson, 1960).The word "dan" serves to combine words and phrases as well as sentences, although the balance of both depends on the type of discourse (Peters, 2004).The use of the word "atau" is a conjunction or relates to an alternative or choice (Peters, 2004).(Adams, 2013) explaining that the word "atau" indicates that members of the set are considered alternatives or options.The word "atau" means to tell to vote.Therefore, the word "dan/atau" is common and appropriately used in a wide variety of types of official, legal, and business documents, but "dan/atau" is a shoddy writing device for storing X or Y writing problems or both (Fowler, 1965).Nevertheless, said dan, atau, dan/atau, although it poses problematic its use in legislation will be very difficult to avoid.The various words have the function of connecting between words to form a series of sentences that have a certain meaning.

Conclusion
The meaning of the word "dan/atau" in legislation has the function of connecting between words to form a series of sentences that have a certain meaning.Using "dan/atau" in legislation can be treated as "dan" as well as can also be treated as "atau", caused by a studied slash indicating meaning "pilihan" and expressing propositions in conjunctive or disjunctive by looking at the explanation of the legislation.On the written variant, the integrity of punctuation is very important so that what is written is not interpreted differently, namely the difference in interpretation of conjunctions "dan/atau" in the article of punishment that can influence law enforcement to uphold justice and seekers of justice to obtain justice by the lofty purposes of the constitution in Indonesia.
