Legal translation

Legal discourse
However, unlike other linguistically modelled accounts, this approach involves a strong opposition to formalisms and their mirror-image realisms. Language as used cannot be ‘deduced’ from any pregiven matrix or set of propositions but must be studied in terms of its own modalities. The theory of law-as-discourse takes inspiration from the study of legal rhetoric and from socio-legal analyses of the courtroom, but was developed in its own right in the post-structuralist turn in linguistics. Law-as-discourse requires an understanding of the operation of legal talk in different registers, and gestures towards an intertwining of the social, the legal and the linguistic by focusing on the speaker–hearer situation, locution and action.


Legal translation
Legal translation is a specialist field that lots of people have heard of but not many people know exactly what it is and what is involved. Let’s have a look at what makes legal translation different from regular translation work.


What do you mean by legal translation?
Legal translation is simply translating anything that will be used within the legal system. This means having to prepare any legal text, legal document, or other files that might be needed for legal rulings or other legal purposes.
As well as text translation, legal translation can include transcription and translation of audio or video files – for example, witness reports, recordings of hearings, or CCTV footage.
Closed circuit television (CCTV) records images of people in certain public places including town centres, roads, airports, and on public transport. CCTV images can be used as evidence in court. You can request CCTV recordings of yourself.
Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance, is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. 
CCTV footage - kamera görüntüləri
video surveillance - video nəzarət
