ترجمة الأفعال الصيغية في النصوص القانونية من اللغة الإنجليزية إلى العربية

الملخص EN

Modal verbs have frequent occurrence in English legal texts, they may come with different meanings, and they have no explicit verbal equivalent in the Arabic language.

our research dealt with a presentation of some of their meanings.

since modality is a logical concept that exists in the minds of all people, it is an expression of the author’s position on his saying, and it comes in two main types; deontic and epistemic.

it is a linguistic phenomenon that languages express by different means, while we find in the English language a system of auxiliary modal verbs, Arabic language expresses it by grammatical means.

our research aims to shed light on the difficulties of the translation of modal verbs in legal texts into Arabic.

we concluded that it is uneasy task to determine accurately their meaning in legal texts, and that the legal translator must be painstakingly careful in order to succeed in conveying their meanings into Arabic.
