Opis

The European pursuit for legal integration and language diversity poses a puzzling question: how can the EU create uniform laws in 24 official languages successfully? This book argues that the answer lies in elevating the English language version, and seeking literalism over fluency in allying the other language versions.

Recenzje

I find this book refreshing, thoroughly innovative, and original. Concisely written, it is a stimulating and important contribution to the current literature on both institutional translation and EU institutions.
