Terminologia prawna i prawnicza z perspektywy translacyjnej

Abstrakt

The paper deals with interlinguistic relations between two‑word German names and their Polish equivalents in legislative and legal language. The relation of equivalency plays an important part in the interlinguistic research. In the case of names that can be found in legislative and legal texts the basic indicator of equivalence is the denotative and prescriptive equivalency. From the translation point of view, the important issue is the category and number of the name components, the way of combining them and also the semantic motivation. Taking these factors into consideration, one can generate nine types of interlinguistic equivalency. The established differences are usually of irregular character. While strongly inferring, they influence the quality of translation task.
