Abstract:

This book focuses on legal concepts from the dual perspective of law and
terminology. While legal concepts frame legal knowledge and take center stage
in law, the discipline of terminology has traditionally been about concept
description. Exploring topics common to both disciplines such as meaning,
conceptualization and specialized knowledge transfer, the book gives a
state-of-the-art account of legal interpretation, legal translation and legal
lexicography with special emphasis on EU law. The special give-and-take of law
and terminology is illuminated by real-life legal cases which demystify the
ways courts do things with concepts. This original approach to the semantics
of legal concepts is then incorporated into the making of a legal dictionary,
thus filling a gap in the theory and practice of legal lexicography. With its
rich repertoire of examples of legal terms in different languages, the book
provides a blend of theory and practice, making it a valuable resource not
only for scholars of law, language and lexicography but also for legal
translators and students.
