Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This volume is a general dictionary within the areas of company, business and financial law, where the selection of terms is based primarily on established and emerging usages within Community legal terminology. The volume provides definitions and general explanations in English, supplemented with specific explanations in Danish and/or German as required. The careful arrangement of terms in Danish and German allows near-independent use between these two languages. Heavy emphasis is placed on idiomatic language use with the inclusion of a large number of complex verb and noun phrases, everyday abbreviated terms, and names of institutions etc. When making the selection of terms, the compilers used their experience as professional translators of commercial and theoretical legal and financial documents. The dictionary will be invaluable to Community business people, lawyers, accountants, translators and students.

Book News Annotation:

Lists nearly 7,000 English terms and phrases with their equivalents in Danish and German. Sometimes synonyms are noted under a main entry; for example under Appropriate are noted suitable, necessary, fitting and well chosen. The form of the English term is also noted, such as noun, verb, or adjective. Both of the other sections only refer to the English entry or entries, so that translating between Danish and German is only possible by passing through the English, thus doubling the opportunity for misunderstanding. The selection is based primarily on established and emerging usage within the legal terminology of the European Community; a list of documents used is provided.

Review:

In the increasingly cross-country web of Europe, the dictionary will be of help to those who participate in the expanding economic relations between the members of the European Union.
