Abstract

Vladimir A. Lazarev, Kirill P. Posternyak (Southern Federal University. Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation)

In the article the authors refer to the problem of lacunarity elimination in legal texts reflecting national specific features in the legal sphere. Various ways of filling gaps when translating from English into Russian are suggested using legal-dogmatic theoretical texts as an example. Different variants of the lacunae elimination are proposed, which take into account the peculiarities of this type of text and can assist in the work of a legal translator.

Key words: linguistic, accidental gap, lacunas, elimination of lacunarity, legal discourse, translation, equivalent vocabulary, Anglo-American legal system, Romano-Germanic system of law.
