For certainly it is a truth commonly overlooked that the fiction is “a disease or affection of language." 26 Ihering expresses in this fashion the exaggerated respect shown by early law for the written and spoken word. "Among all primitive peoples the word appears as something mysterious; a naive faith ascribes to the word a supernatural Power" (II2,441). Anyone who has thought about the legal fiction must be aware that it presents an illustration of the all-pervading power of the word.

In that sense the fiction is a linguistic phenomenon. What Is a Legal Fiction? - Pages 4-5 The influence of the fiction extends to every department of the jurist's activities.
