Materialization in legal communication in the transfering process

Abstract

Legal discourse is in constant maturation. Legal translatability requires a high degree of both the source and target languages and of their respective institutions. Materialization is in place when adjustments and ‘deterritorialization’ (Wagner, J Civil Law Stud, forthcoming, 2016; Legrand, Issues in the translatability of law. In Bermann S, Wood M (eds) Nation, language, and the ethics of translation. Princeton University Press, Princeton, pp 30–50, 2005) have found a way, a ‘third space’ (Wagner, J Civil Law Stud, forthcoming, 2016) to fit the target language in the translatability process, though the full conceptual, societal and/or historical loads are not explicitly retained from their original source and may traverse linguistic barriers.
