Multilingualism in translations of the EU – the case law of Court of Justice of the European Union in the interdisciplinary perspective

Multilingualism has been considered one of the most crucial features of the European Union. The constant development of that international organisation calls for a new perspective on the legal translation in the European Union. It is argued that the distinctive nature of the EU translation should be regarded as a reason for o separating it from the theory of legal translation. It is also suggested that the EU translation should be approached from the interdisciplinary perspective as it may provide a broader field of research. Furthermore, such perspective may contribute to a better understanding of the influence of language on the development of the EU case law and it may lead to a better recognition of linguistic precedents in the judgements of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
