Book Description
Slobodan D. Jovanovic, Ph.D., and the Team of Collaborators: Szerda Tamas, Margareta Lotrean, Andrea Bucko, Elena Cief, Marta Jakab, Lepar CarmenEnglish-Serbian-Hungarian-Rumanian-Slovak-Ruthenian BASIC DICTIONARY OF LEGAL ENGLISHEnglish for Legal Purposes (Legal English, English for Law) is more general and more comprehensive than other specialized registers, as it does not only relate to criminal offences and court procedures, but also to all sorts of documents and regulations treating, for instance, various activities in/of companies, environmental protection issues, problems of international relations, ... As law and legal issues influence all spheres of contemporary life, it is only natural to expect this to even more strongly hold true in multinational i.e. multicultural social milieus such as the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in the Republic of Serbia, where official use of different languages itself is subject to legal regulation. This is exactly why preparing a dictionary of this kind was inspired and guided by the need to show that command of different languages in the academic environment can only mean wealth, also visible in the sphere of mastering the vocabulary of English for Legal Purposes. Diligent work of the team of enthusiasts joining their knowledge and efforts in the last three and a half years, has born fruit in form of the gradually increasingly more serious English-Serbian-Hungarian-Rumanian-Slovak-Ruthenian Dictionary that contains words and expressions necessary to get the basic insight, and/or to improve one's understanding, of the areas such as: The practice of law, Company formation and management, Capitalisation, Fundamental changes in a company, Contract formation, Remedies, Assignment of contracts and third-party rights, Employment law, Sale of goods, Real property law, Intellectual property, Negotiable instruments, Secured transactions, Debtor-creditor relations, Competition law, Transnational commercial law.The collected material testifies of the great effort invested by its compilers. Thanks to their persistence this product is now available, representing the foundation calling for and stimulating building up and further enrichment of the professional vocabulary, which will inevitably also mean broadening the knowledge of the numerous areas of law and legal practice.
