Teaching Comparative Conceptual Analysis to Legal Translation Trainees
Original language description
This paper discusses the role of comparative law in legal translation and its application into the legal translation classroom. The focus is placed on micro-comparison of legal concepts and institutions and on teaching comparative conceptual analysis. Previous studies have shown that one of the major issues for legal translation trainees when asked to perform an analysis is the identification of accidental and essential features, and thus determining the equivalence between a source language concept and a target language concept. Therefore, a series of exercises is presented, using company law institutions and terms in English and Czech, the aim of which is to first raise trainees’ awareness of the need for comparative conceptual analysis, and then introduce them to how the analysis should be performed and make them use it in practice to overcome terminological asymmetry.
