Abstract:

The book is one of the few in-depth investigations into the nature of EU legal
translation and its impact on national legal languages. It is also the first
attempt to characterise EU Polish, a language of supranational law and a
hybrid variant of legal Polish emerging via translation. The book applies
Chesterman’s concept of textual fit, that is how translations differ from
non-translations, to demonstrate empirically on large corpora how the Polish
eurolect departs from the conventions of legal and general Polish both at the
macrostructural and the microstructural level. The findings are juxtaposed
with the pre-accession version of Polish law to track the «Europeanisation» of
legal Polish – recent changes brought about by the unprecedented inflow of EU
translations.
