36.28 · Guide, Discipline, Follow · Obey, Disobey
to disobey, to break the law, to transgress, disobedience, transgression to act contrary to established custom or law, with the implication of intent Languages differ appreciably in the way in which they speak of disobeying or transgressing a law. It is rarely possible to speak of ‘breaking a law,’ since nothing is actually done to the law in the process of transgression, but languages do employ such expressions as ‘to tramp on a law,’ ‘to ridicule a law,’ and ‘to laugh at a law.’ See also discussion at 36.29.
