Legal lexicography or jurilexicography is the most neglected aspect
of the discipline of jurilinguistics, despite its great relevance
for translators, academics and comparative lawyers. This volume
seeks to bridge this gap in legal literature by bringing together
contributions from ten jurisdictions from leading experts in the
field. The work addresses aspects of legal lexicography, both
monolingual and bilingual, in its various manifestations in both
civilian and common law systems. It thus compares epistemic
approaches in a subject that is inextricably bound up with specific
legal systems and specific languages. Topics covered include the
history of French legal lexicography, ordinary language as defined
by the courts, the use of law dictionaries by the judiciary, legal
lexicography and translation, and a proposed multilingual
dictionary for the EU citizen. While the majority of contributions
are in English, the volume includes three written in French. The
collection will be a valuable resource for both scholars and
practitioners engaging with language in the mechanism of the law.
