Book DICCIONARIO DE T  RMINOS JUR  DICOS ESPA  OL CHINO

Download or read book DICCIONARIO DE T RMINOS JUR DICOS ESPA OL CHINO written by Shen and published by . This book was released on 2022-09-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PRÓLOGO -- Escrito por el Embajador de España en Pekín, Excmo. Sr. D. Rafael Dezcallar para el Diccionario Es para mí una gran satisfacción escribir estas palabras como preámbulo del "Diccionario de Términos Jurídicos Español-Chino" del Embajador Shen. Su formación y su larga trayectoria como diplomático en más de media docena de países, varios de ellos de habla hispana, le llevaron a percibir la necesidad de escribir una obra tan importante como necesaria para el mejor entendimiento entre dos sistemas legales muy diferentes, como son el español y el chino. España atesora una larga tradición jurídica, que procede del Derecho Romano, del Código de Justiniano, y de Las Siete Partidas de Alfonso X el Sabio. Este rey, ya en el siglo XIII de nuestra era, decidió unificar el variado corpus legislativo que se empleaba en el reino de Castilla, y que procedía del derecho romano de la antigüedad, junto con elementos del derecho visigótico y del derecho consuetudinario castellano. La tradición legal china es muy diferente, y se engarza en la larga historia del imperio chino, más tarde de la República de China, y finalmente de la República Popular. En los últimos años se está produciendo un interesante proceso de creciente codificación de sus normas jurídicas. El trabajo del Embajador Shen para encontrar puntos de encuentro entre estas dos tradiciones jurídicas tan diferentes no es nada fácil, y por eso es digno de elogio. Como lo es también el esfuerzo recopilatorio para llevar a cabo un trabajo de esta envergadura. Estamos en un momento de la historia en la que la globalización hace que el mundo esté cada vez más interconectado. Las transacciones de todo tipo entre China y España son cada vez más complejas. En ese contexto, el contar con un instrumento que ayude a conectar las bases legales en las que estos intercambios se producen será sin duda un valioso referente de consulta y un instrumento útil de trabajo. Especialmente para las empresas que actúen en China, en España y en todos los países de lengua española, y que necesiten encontrar soluciones jurídicas aplicables en cada uno de ellos. Quisiera por eso felicitar al Embajador Shen por este impresionante trabajo. Confío en que llegue a ser un instrumento que favorezca las relaciones entre China y España, y que su obra tenga el reconocimiento que merece.

  • Author : James Grippando
  • Publisher : Harper Collins
  • Release : 2009-03-17
  • ISBN : 006174624X
  • Pages : 696 pages

Download or read book A King s Ransom written by James Grippando and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of five bestselling novels, including Under Cover of Darkness and The Pardon, James Grippando writes compulsively readable thrillers that could be drawn from today's headlines, only better. Now his trademark gifts are wonderfully demonstrated in a taut new tale of intrigue that will keep you guessing to the final, breathtaking scene. Just two years out of law school, Nick Rey is on the career fast track at a hot Miami law firm when he is suddenly plunged headfirst into a dangerous bid to save his father. Matthew Rey has been kidnapped while on business in Columbia's exotic port city of Cartagena. The ransom demand of three million dollars is far more than the Rey family can ever hope to raise. Fortunately, Matthew had purchased an insurance policy to protect against just such a threat. Unfortunately, the kidnappers seem to know all about the policy, and the insurance company, suspecting fraud, is refusing to pay out. With nowhere to turn, Nick links up with Alex, a beautiful, street-smart woman who may be the only person capable of negotiating with Matthew's abductors. But Nick soon discovers that the gravest dangers to him and his family are not the kidnappers and their guns, but the men in suits: lawyers, to be exact, at a powerful firm with something to hide, and they will stop at nothing to keep Nick from unleashing the truth.

Book Met  foras de sentencias judiciales de Estados Unidos trasladadas a la doctrina y la jurisprudencia de la Argentina

Download or read book Met foras de sentencias judiciales de Estados Unidos trasladadas a la doctrina y la jurisprudencia de la Argentina written by Marisa Alejandra Nowiczewski and published by Colegio de Traductores Públicos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una de las críticas más recurrentes al discurso jurídico español se refiere a su oscuridad e impenetrabilidad. En particular, el uso de la metáfora, entre otras figuras del lenguaje, representa uno de los factores que contribuyen a que el discurso jurídico resulte incomprensible aun para aquellos familiarizados con el mundo del derecho. Esto se debe a que, en muchos casos, se adoptan figuras o ideas propias del derecho estadounidense mediante procedimientos de trasvase, como la traducción literal, que cuando se aplican como misma y única estrategia de traducción conducen a un fracaso comunicacional entre el emisor experto y sus receptores, ya sean legos o miembros de la comunidad jurídica. En relación con la traducción al español de metáforas de sentencias judiciales de EE.UU. que se emplean en la jurisprudencia y la doctrina de la Argentina, consideramos que la reproducción de la misma imagen en la lengua meta (Newmark, 1988) o traducción literal es el procedimiento más utilizado para traducir las metáforas del inglés al español. Es de destacar que no existen trabajos de investigación, en la Argentina o en otro país hispanohablante, cuyo objetivo sea el estudio de este procedimiento de traducción en particular aplicado a la metáfora jurídica. En este trabajo de tesis analizamos las metáforas mencionadas a partir del enfoque lingüístico-cognitivo propuesto por Lakoff y Johnson (1980), abordamos su traducción al español y aportamos evidencia empírica que permite corroborar nuestra hipótesis. Compilamos un corpus de veinte metáforas presentes en sentencias de tribunales de EE.UU. y de textos de jurisprudencia y de doctrina de Argentina que incluyen esas metáforas. Se proce al análisis contrastivo de las metáforas en los textos de partida y sus traducciones en los textos de llegada mediante un modelo que parte de una aproximación translation-oriented (Nord, 1991a) y del examen de los factores extratextuales e intratextuales que propone la autora (1991a) y que han abordado las teorías de análisis del discurso. One of the most frequent criticisms leveled at legal discourse in Spanish is that it is obscure and impenetrable in nature. The use of metaphor, among other figures of speech, is a major contributing factor in making legal discourse incomprehensible even to those familiar with the world of law. The reason for this is that in many cases, legal devices or concepts of American Law are adopted by means of translation methods such as literal translation which, when systematically applied as the only strategy, usually lead to communication failures between expert source text producers and target text receivers, whether laymen or legal professionals. In this thesis, we argue that reproducing the same image in the target language (Newmark, 1988) or literal translation is the most widespread method to translate, from English into Spanish, metaphors in U.S. court opinions that are employed in Argentine court decisions and scholarly texts. It should be noted that previous work, whether from Argentina or other Spanish-speaking countries, has failed to address this method in particular as applied to the translation of legal metaphors. In this study, we analyze the metaphors mentioned above using the cognitive-linguistic approach to metaphor launched by Lakoff & Johnson (1980), discuss their translation into Spanish, and provide empirical evidence to support our claim. We assembled a corpus of twenty metaphors in U.S. court opinions, and of Argentine court decisions and scholarly texts including those metaphors. Using the corpus, we compare the metaphors in the source texts and their translations in the target texts by using a model that is based on (i) a translation-oriented text analysis (Nord, 1991a), and (ii) the assessment of intratextual and extratextual factors proposed by Nord (1991a) and and extratextual factors proposed by Nord (1991a) and addressed by discourse analysis theories.

The happily married couple head into New York's 1980s gold rush where prospects and money seem to be flying everywhere, and the best and the brightest vie with the worst and most craven for riches, fame and the love of beautiful people. But the Calloways soon find out that what goes up must come crashing down, both on Wall Street and at home. Brightness Falls captures lives-in-the-making: men and women confronting their sudden middle-age with wit and low behaviour, fear and confusion, and, just occasionally, a little honesty and decency.

Book Methods of Comparative Law

  • Publisher : Edward Elgar Publishing
  • Release : 2012-01-01
  • ISBN : 1781005117
  • Pages : 339 pages

Download or read book Methods of Comparative Law written by P. G. Monateri and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprising an array of distinguished contributors, this pioneering volume of original contributions explores theoretical and empirical issues in comparative law. The innovative, interpretive approach found here combines explorative scholarship and research with thoughtful, qualitative critiques of the field. The book promotes a deeper appreciation of classical theories and offers new ways to re-orient the study of legal transplants and transnational codes. Methods of Comparative Law brings to bear new thinking on topics including: the mutual relationship between space and law; the plot that structures legal narratives, identities and judicial interpretations; a strategic approach to legal decision making; and the inner potentialities of the 'comparative law and economics' approach to the field. Together, the contributors reassess the scientific understanding of comparative methodologies in the field of law in order to provide both critical insights into the traditional literature and an original overview of the most recent and purposive trends. A welcome addition to the lively field of comparative law, Methods of Comparative Law will appeal to students and scholars of law, comparative law and economics. Judges and practitioners will also find much of interest here.
