The present doctoral dissertation investigates the Italian language
of the law and the language of EU legal acts and offers a
comparative analysis thereof. It is divided into a part concerning
theory and an analytical part. The first part presents the
characteristics of both languages to gain a wider perspective on
the topic and forms the starting point for analysis. The analytical
part opens with a description of the selected corpus and a
literature review of the field as an introduction to qualitative
corpus analysis. The occurrence of borrowings from English and
Latin is the focus of the lexical analysis. The subsequent chapter
concerns technical terms based on a division into tecnicismi
specifici and tecnicismi collaterali, which have a strictly
stylistic function. In order to render the research more objective,
leading Italian grammar books (Dardano, Trifone, Serianni, Salvi e
Vanelli) and the GRADIT, Treccani, and Internazionale online
dictionaries were employed. The syntactic analysis concerns the
occurrence of the most important syntactic phenomena to identify
the differences and similarities between the language of EU legal
acts and the Italian language of the law. Furthermore, corpus word
count normalization to a million was carried out in the lexical
analysis in order to obtain objective results concerning the
occurrence of a given linguistic phenomenon and to minimize the
differences in the word count between groups of texts. The
conclusions constitute a summary of the observations from the
analytical part and present potential research perspectives.
