The book Criminal proceedings, languages and the European Union:
linguistic and legal issues the first attempt on this subject deals
with the current situation in the jurislinguistic studies, which
cover comparative law, language and translation, towards the aim of
the circulation of equivalent legal concepts in systems which are
still very different from one another. In the absence of common
cultures and languages, in criminal procedure it is possible to
distinguish features that are typical of common law systems and
features that are typical of civil law systems, according to the
two different models of adversarial and inquisitorial trials.
Therefore, the most problematic challenges are for the European
Union legislator to define generic measures that can be easily
implemented at the national level, and for the individual Member
States to choose corresponding domestic measures that can best
implement these broad definitions, so as to pursue objectives set
at the European level.
In this "scenario," the book assesses the new framework within
which criminal lawyers and practitioners need to operate under the
Lisbon Treaty (Part I), and focuses on the different versions of
its provisions concerning cooperation in criminal matters, which
will need to be implemented at the national level (Part III). The
book analyses the issues raised by multilingualism in the EU
decision-making process and subsequent interpretation of legal acts
from the viewpoint of all the players involved (EU officials,
civil, penal and linguistic lawyers: Part II), explores the
possible impact of the EU legal acts concerning environmental
protection, where the study of ascending and descending circulation
of polysemantic words is especially relevant (Part IV), and
investigates the new legal and linguistic concepts in the field of
data retention, protection of victims, European investigation
orders and coercive measures (Part V)."
