Abstract
A Comparative Analysis of Collocations in UK and Croatian Company Law
Highlights
RESEARCH BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATIONThe paper presents a comparative analysis of collocations in the Croatian and English languages for legal purposes (LLPs)
English for legal purposes (ELP), being only one of numerous subfields of English for specific purposes (ESP), includes linguistic elements related to an increasing range of occupations
Her contribution to LLP contrastive English and Croatian phraseology is dedicated to collocations in contracts as a specific genre of legal texts, which provide a wider context that reveals genre-specific phraseological patterns
Summary
The paper presents a comparative analysis of collocations in the Croatian and English languages for legal purposes (LLPs). Teaching ELP to students of law, within mandatory LLP courses at law schools, as well as planning in-service LLP courses for legal practitioners such as lawyers, judges, lawyer linguists or translators, have the same objective: to prepare prospective and practising legal professionals for effective communication in an international legal context (Husinec, 2010: 3-4) LLP learners and users have to be aware of potential conceptual differences between two or more legal systems, which are mirrored in their specific conceptual and terminological apparatuses This is why the combination of corpus-based analysis of phraseology and contrastive analysis of legal language is so significant for terminology research in LLP (cf Dobrić Basaneže, 2017: 200)
