Enkele specifiek marktgebonden aspecten van rechtsvertalingen in Slowakije en Tsjechië

The volume of translations of legal texts is growing in line with the current development and trends. The scientific project Transius – From conventions to norms of the translation in the legal discourse focuses on this highly actual field of translation studies in Slovakia. The hypothesis that small and less frequented languages have in the legal translation an important position was confirmed by a research made in the archives of the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic. A similar survey was conducted in the Czech Republic by the Association of interpreters and translators. In our contribution we would like to present the results of the research in Slovakia. The data are compared with the results of the research in the Czech Republic. Then the results are compared in the context of the Slovak and Czech market with legal translations.
