This study concentrates on three major issues creating a basis for
the making of the "Czech-English Law Dictionary with Explanations",
namely language, including terminology, in both the Czech and
Anglo-American systems of law; the process of legal translation;
and the lexicographic method of producing a bilingual law
dictionary. Terminology has been considered the most significant
feature of language for legal purposes. It encompasses a wide range
of special-purpose vocabulary and higher syntactic units, including
legal jargon. Conceptual analysis is to be pursued whenever an
identical term in the target language does not exist or its full
equivalent is in doubt. Legal translation should be based primarily
on comparative legal, linguistic and genre analysis in order to
make the transfer of legal information as precise, accurate and
comprehensible as possible. The primary objective of legal
translation is for the target recipient to be provided as explicit,
extensive and precise legal information in the target language as
is contained in the source text, complemented (by the translator)
with facts rendering the original information fully comprehensible
in the different legal environment and culture. A dictionary which
will help its users to produce legal texts in the target language
should be founded upon a profound comparative legal and linguistic
analysis that will (a) determine equivalents at the levels of
vocabulary, syntax and genre, (b) select the appropriate
lexicographic material to be included in the dictionary, and (c)
create entries in a user-friendly manner.
