The Ashgate Handbook of Legal Translation by Le Cheng

The Ashgate Handbook of Legal Translation by Le Cheng

This volume investigates advances in the field of legal translation both from a theoretical and practical perspective, with professional and academic insights from leading experts in the field. Part I of the collection focuses on the exploration of legal translatability from a theoretical angle. Covering fundamental issues such as equivalence in legal translation, approaches to legal translation and the interaction between judicial interpretation and legal translation, the authors offer contributions from philosophical, rhetorical, terminological and lexicographical perspectives. Part II focuses on the analysis of legal translation from a practical perspective among different jurisdictions such as China, the EU and Japan, offering multiple and pluralistic viewpoints. This book presents a collection of studies in legal translation which not only provide the latest international research findings among academics and practitioners, but also furnish us with a new approach to, and new insights into, the phenomena and nature of legal translation and legal transfer. The collection provides an invaluable reference for researchers, practitioners, academics and students specialising in law and legal translation, philosophy, sociology, linguistics and semiotics.

'This is truly a handbook, covering both theoretical issues concerning translation and the translation of legal documents in particular, and practical matters that emerge from specific tasks of translating legal discourse to and from a number of languages - from the European community, Asia and South AmericaA must for practitioners and others interested in the field.' Dennis Kurzon, University of Haifa, Israel 'This Handbook provides legal and linguistic scholars as well as legal translators with a deeper understanding of the complexity of legal translation processes, while investigating issues in legal translatability and equivalence. This book will constitute an inestimable contribution for practitioners and theoreticians of legal translation who will benefit from the great expertise of all the authors in order to advance their art and science and possibly establish a more balanced dialogue between legal and linguistic cultures.' Jean-Claude Gemar, Universite de Montreal, Canada 'Covering a broad spectrum of topics, the Handbook of Legal Translation provides innovative insights into the theory and practice of legal translation at national, supranational and international levels. Written by a global authorship, the contributions are recommended reading for academics, students and practitioners interested in the dynamics of legal translation.' Susan A arAE evi, author of New Approach to Legal Translation 'Writing with intensity and persuasiveness, scholars contributing to this thought-provoking Handbook have opened new doors into our thinking about legal translatability by expanding translation research into the global dimensions of law and legal pluralism. A rich set of analytically and methodologically important tools makes this Handbook, even more productively, a re-conceptualization of legal translation for the 21st century.' Girolamo Tessuto, Seconda UniversitA degli Studi di Napoli, Italy 'In today's world of multilingual legal
