Special Issues of Jurilinguistic Translation. Case Study: The Criminal CodeAbstract:This study aims at analyzing the process by which the highly specialized language of the legal system is highly influenced by English, as a lingua franca. The first section of the study deals with the concept of translation and with issues regarding the relationship between law and language. The second section is focused on corpus presentation, i.e. the Romanian Criminal Code in Romanian and in English. The third section uses the content analysis instrument WordStat in order to answer its central question: What approach can the translator use in order to choose between synonymy and polysemy in the language of law in Romanian and what are the stages of this approach?
