The book examines the impact of Poland's accession to the European Union on legal Polish. With the help of corpus-based methods, the Eurofog project investigates the textual fit of EU Polish against nontranslated national law and verifies empirically how the unprecedented inflow of translations has affected post-accession legal Polish.
The book is one of the few in-depth investigations into the nature of EU legal translation and its impact on national legal languages. It is also the first attempt to characterise EU Polish, a language of supranational law and a hybrid variant of legal Polish emerging via translation. The book applies Chesterman’s concept of textual fit, that is how translations differ from non-translations, to demonstrate empirically on large corpora how the Polish eurolect departs from the conventions of legal and general Polish both at the macrostructural and the microstructural level. The findings are juxtaposed with the pre-accession version of Polish law to track the «Europeanisation» of legal Polish – recent changes brought about by the unprecedented inflow of EU translations.
