Los corpus como herramienta de socialización discursiva en traducción jurídica


Abstract


This paper reflects on the advantages of using corpora to translate legal texts. By considering corpus linguistics as a powerful training and professional methodological resource, the study presents the opportunities provided by specialised corpora, from the traditional extraction of terminological and phraseological units to the study of parallel discursive conventions. The paper exemplifies the importance of corpora as tools for the ‘discursive socialization’ of legal translators presenting specific cases in which public and private legal corpora are used to solve specific translation problems. The study also demonstrates that corpora are one of the few resources translators have at their disposal to choose between variants and alternatives, one of the strongest constraints in legal translation.
