Translation Based On Skopos Norms: Excerpts From Legal Documents In Focus
Authors : Medjahed Nabila . Gacemi Taous .
Abstract
This research paper presents a comprehensive study of norms-based skopos in legal translation between Arabic and English, aiming to highlight the legal translation norms via the skopos theory. The problem is whether the skopos in legal translation is source or target text-oriented, and which norms a translator can retain to align the skopos. Through the empirical study, the researcher examines the norms-governed activity based on a previous theoretical background applicable to English and Arabic legal texts. The findings reveal that translation choices should be guided by the intention beyond the target text, with the translator who shapes the translation to attain the specific purpose of the ultimate document. Actually it contributes to a deeper understanding of legal texts principles. Actually the study provides valuable insights for professional legal translation applications and implications, as well as for future research directions in the field of skopos theory and translation norms.
