Arabic-English-Arabic Legal Translation provides a
groundbreaking investigation of the issues found in legal
translation between Arabic and English. Drawing on a
contrastive-comparative approach, it analyses parallel authentic
legal documents in both Arabic and English to examine the features
of legal discourse in both languages and uncover the different
translation techniques used. In so doing, it addresses the
following questions:
- What are the features of English and Arabic legal texts?
- What are the similarities and differences of English and Arabic
legal texts?
- What are the difficult areas of legal translation between
English and Arabic legal texts?
- What are the techniques for translating these difficult areas
on the lexical and syntactic levels?
Features include:
- A thorough description of the features of legal translation in
both English and Arabic, drawing on empirical new research, corpus
data analysis and strategic two-way comparisons between source
texts and target texts
- Coverage of a broad range of topics including an outline of the
chosen framework for data analysis, a historical survey of legal
discourse developments in both Arabic and English and detailed
analyses of legal literature at both the lexical and syntactic
levels
- Attention to common areas of difficulty such as Shariah Law
terms, archaic terms and model auxiliaries
- Many examples and excerpts from a wide selection of authentic
legal documents, reinforced by practical discussion points,
exercises and practice drills to encourage active engagement with
the material and opportunities for hands-on learning.
Wide-ranging, scholarly and thought-provoking, this will be a
valuable resource for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates on
Arabic, Translation Studies and Comparative Linguistics courses. It
will also be essential reading for translation professionals and
researchers working in the field.
