LEXICAL-SEMANTIC ASPECTS OF LEGAL TEXT TRANSLATION IN THE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL CONTEXT (BASED ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE)

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of the adequacy of the translation of legal texts as an important tool for improving legal regulation and control of international relations. The research hypothesis is that the mechanism of terminological nomination and interpretation in the context of lexical-semantic decoding of legal texts depends not only on the legal, but also on the cultural characteristics of the countries participating in communication. The tasks of the research include the definition of formal requirements for the language of legal communication, the identification of topological groups of terms that are difficult to translate, the definition and description of the terms that have no analogue in the target language. The research methods are the analysis of the legal terminology systems of Great Britain and the USA. It is concluded that the basis of the technique for translation legal documents and achieving an adequate lexical and semantic interpretation of legal concepts within the intercultural context is the interdisciplinary interaction of linguistics and law and consideration of the cultural and historical realities of the countries of legal interaction.
