This comprehensive Research Handbook explores the wide variety of work conducted in legal semiotics to provide a broad understanding of how the law works through signs and symbols. Demonstrating that law is a strategical system of fluctuating signs, contributors critically analyse the ever-evolving conceptualisations of law and legal discourse.
This Research Handbook offers a comprehensive study of jurilinguistics that not only presents the latest international research findings among academics and practitioners, but also provides a new approach to the phenomena and nature of communicative flexibility, legal genres, vulnerability of interlingual legal communication, and the cultural landscape of legal translation.
This book offers practical advice and guidance to German-speaking undergraduates and academics who aspire to write in English. It also provides valuable assistance to editors, examiners and teachers who conduct English courses for intermediate or advanced students. It consists of four modules and is rounded off with a subject index and a glossary. Making extensive use of authentic texts, the authors adopt a contrastive approach and focus on the major problems encountered by Germans writing in English. This third edition has been thoroughly revised, updated and expanded to include, among other things, advice on how to use new Internet technology.
Par une approche croisée des savoirs du droit et de la traductologie, ce traité offre un éclairage interdisciplinaire sur les enjeux de la traduction juridique et apporte des outils méthodologiques innovants.
This volume provides descriptive and interpretive insights into the ‘living’ usage of language and other semiotic modes in building and performing the law across academic, professional and institutional contexts, where issues arise from the meaning and function of legal texts, discourse and genre in constituting and enabling conventions, albeit dynamically, and account for the socially and (inter)culturally influenced forms of discursive actions and practices. The twenty contributions included here weave significant contexts and situations for legal discourse and practice into a tight thread, and justify selected topic areas through a variety of approaches, frameworks, methodologies, and procedures. As such, this publication is multidimensional and multiperspectival in its design and implementation of key issues confronting discursive actions and practices of the law, and provides an invaluable resource for academics in a wider range of disciplines, including linguistics, applied linguistics and communication studies. It will also be of interest to students of interdisciplinary discourse analysis.
The present volume is a collection of selected contributions presented at the Translation and Interpreting Forum Olomouc (TIFO 2019), which was held under the title Teaching Translation vs. Training Translators. The organizers' goal was to provide a platform for all parties with an interest in translating and interpreting, both academics and professionals, to meet and to discuss and critically examine relevant issues and often opposed viewpoints. The participants included representatives of universities, EU institutions, publishing industry, transnational corporations and language service providers.
À l’ère de la migration de masse, les procédés de communication permettant l’échange entre la société d’accueil et les migrants gagnent de plus en plus d’importance. Dans ce contexte, la traduction joue un rôle clé. Cet ouvrage a pour ambition d’apporter une dimension novatrice au discours scientifique sur la traduction en milieu migratoire et d’ouvrir de nouvelles pistes de recherche dans le domaine de la traductologie. Dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, les auteurs font dialoguer des approches traductologiques, linguistiques et juridiques, enrichies parfois de réflexions philosophiques et didactiques. Des études de cas illustrent le travail des traducteurs au tribunal, à l’hôpital ou dans des centres d’accueil. D’autres travaux portent sur les tensions psychologiques et émotionnelles qu’éprouvent les interprètes en milieu social ainsi que sur leur formation.
S'adressant à la fois aux traducteurs juridiques, aux juristes, aux comparatistes, aux historiens du droit et aux lexicographes juridiques, La jurilinguistique dans tous ses états est une plongée dans le monde fascinant des mots du droit. L'objectif est d'ausculter le langage du droit en l'explorant sous toutes les coutures, dans la littérature, au cinéma, mais aussi au prisme de la traduction juridique et des dictionnaires, de droit ou généralistes, et à travers des anecdotes et réflexions personnelles.
