Séminaire international Autour de la traduction juridique

Padova, 02/12/2011

Quelques mots sur le Séminaire

Le Séminaire international “Autour de la traduction juridique” se veut une rencontre scientifique interdisciplinaire réunissant des linguistes, un philosophe et des experts du droit, dans le but de favoriser l’échange et le partage de réflexions et d’expériences qui portent sur l’activité traduisante dans le domaine juridique. Les traducteurs experts ou novices, ainsi que les professionnels du droit, sont confrontés à un défi à la fois linguistique et culturel, qui se renouvelle au fur et à mesure que les règlements juridiques nationaux et internationaux changent, et que les textes juridiques se multiplient. Qu’il s’agisse de propositions théoriques, d’études terminologiques ponctuelles ou d’analyses concernant des spécificités liées au droit ou à la langue, ce Séminaire vise à mettre en évidence les enjeux multiples d’une tâche délicate, celle de la traduction juridique.
