STUDY OF THE COMBINATIONALITY OF THE LEGAL TEXT TRANSLATION

Abstract

The study examines the issues of combinationality of translation of legal texts both from the point of view of achieving translation adequacy and identifying inconsistencies in achieving translation equivalence at the lexical, syntactic, stylistic and grammatical levels. In analyzing the legal discourse, this article focuses on the study of combinationality in the translation of legal texts: written codes and text reminders of legal court documents and international legal documents. The paper focuses on the study of combinationality in the translation of legal texts: written codes and text reminders of legal court documents and international legal documents. Legal translation often presents difficulties for translators, especially for novice translators, because of its highly specialized vocabulary and “unique” structure. Translation difficulties are mainly related to differentiations in different legal cultures and legal systems, since the legal language has developed its characteristics to meet the requirements of the legal system in which it is expressed. Legal translation is clearly different from other types of technical translation, which, as a rule, convey universal information with a much smaller number of technical terms. Abbreviations are also very difficult to translate. Most stable expressions can be used in abbreviated form and require the translator to correctly decipher them, depending on the context.
