EU DISCOURSE AS A TEXTUAL, LEGAL AND LINGUISTIC CHALLENGE

Bu çalışma, hukuki çevirilerin mevcut tipolojilerinde AB çevirisinin nasıl kavramlaştırıldığını ve AB hukukunun dilini hangi unsurların şekillendirdiğini göstererek, AB söyleminin kavramsal çerçevesini sergilemektedir. AB çevirisinin, geleneksel hukuk çevirisinden birçok açıdan farklı olduğunun ve AB söyleminin genel anlamdaki melezliğini sağlayan bir dizi yöntemsel, politik ve kurumsal unsurdan etkilendiğinin altı çizilmiştir. AB çevirisinin, diğer hukuki metinler arasındaki gerçek yerini göstermek için Kjaer, de Groot ve Cao tarafından ortaya koyulan hukuki çeviri tipolojilerinden seçkilere yer verilmiştir. Ayrıca Trosborg'un ve Garzone'un AB metinlerinin melezliği ile ilgili metinsel yaklaşımları yorumlanmıştır. Dillerin karışımı ve küreselleşme ile birlikte ortaya çıkan iletişim kalıplarının bir sonucu olarak melez metinler ortaya çıkmıştır. Çalışmanın sonraki bölümlerinde AB hukukunun çevirisi ve AB'nin çokdillilik politikasının sonucu olan etmenler üzerinde bazı açıklamalarda bulunulmuştur. Son olarak ise hukuki geleneklerin çakışma noktasının ve açıklanan sözdizimsel ve anlambilimsel sadeleştirmelerin getirdiği diller arası benzeşimin bir ürünü olarak AB İngilizcesinin özellikleri üzerinde durulmuştur.

Metinsel, Hukuki ve Dilbilimsel Bir Yenilik Olarak AB Söylemi

The paper sets out the conceptual framework for EU discourse by showing how EU translation is conceptualized in the extant typologies of legal translation and analysing what factors mould the language of EU law. It is underscored that EU translation differs in many respects from traditional legal translation and is affected by a vast array of procedural, political and institutional factors which are conducive to the overall hybridity of EU discourse. There is an account of selected legal translation typologies as propounded by Kjaer, de Groot and Cao in order to illustrate a truly specific position of EU translation among legal texts. Trosborg's and Garzone's textual approaches drawing on EU texts' hybridity are also commented upon. Hybrid texts emerge as a result of the mixing of the languages, discourses and communication conventions endemic to globalization. Thus, hybridity may be perceived as a trait of the EU legal system. In the latter sections, the paper casts some light on the translation of EU law and its preconditions resulting from the policy of EU multilingualism. Lastly, attention is paid to the specificities of EU-English as a product of convergence of legal traditions and interlingual assimilation marked by proclaimed syntactic as well as semantic simplification.
