Abstract
The analysis of domain-specific terminology is essential for characterizing specialized discourses, and emerges as
a useful means of measuring the thematic hybridity of law and legal translation in particular. This paper accordingly presents a
large-scale mapping of terminological and phraseological features in a multi-genre corpus that was built as part of the LETRINT
project on institutional legal translation. The corpus-driven analysis focuses on the density of legal terminology and
phraseology, on the one hand, and that of terminology of other specialized domains, on the other, in nine genres that are
considered representative of three central legal functions (law-making, compliance monitoring and adjudication) in three
international settings (the European Union, the United Nations and the World Trade Organization). The comparative examination of
density scores provides empirical evidence of the common core features of the selected genres, and reveals variations based on
institutional thematic focus, primary legal function and genre specificities. These insights nuance our understanding of
international legal discourses and domain specialization in institutional translation.
期刊介绍：
Terminology is an independent journal with a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary scope. It focusses on the discussion of (systematic) solutions not only of language problems encountered in translation, but also, for example, of (monolingual) problems of ambiguity, reference and developments in multidisciplinary communication. Particular attention will be given to new and developing subject areas such as knowledge representation and transfer, information technology tools, expert systems and terminological databases. Terminology encompasses terminology both in general (theory and practice) and in specialized fields (LSP), such as physics.
