================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

As a legal translator I am preparing my dissertation for my MA in Legal 
Translation on the problem of rendering conceptual gaps when 
translating English contracts for the sale of land (private/commercial) 
into German. I am doing a survey to find out how other translators deal 
with conceptual gaps either in law or terminology. I would be grateful if 
anybody would take some minutes time and help me with my survey:

Thank you all in advance. If anybody is interested I am happy to share 
the results in some months time.
