Abstract

This article analyzes several aspects of the maritime law vocabulary, in order to overcome the problem of maritime inaccuracies in translation and to contribute to the better understanding and translation of texts and legislations within this field. The first section of this article deals with several key terms and issues in the field of legal translation and maritime language and highlights the fact that maritime language represents a functional variety of register. The second section presents the corpus analyzed within this paper in order to reveal the language variation in the two languages (i.e. Romanian and English) and to assess their lexical density. The third section is focused on corpus analysis, highlighting the language variation in the English and Romanian translation of the chosen texts from the field of contracts of carriage in maritime law.
