Abstract

Abstract:

As a new interdisciplinary subject pertaining to law and English, legal English planning belongs to both the fields of foreign-language planning and of foreign-related legal domain language planning. As foreign-language planning, legal English should define and establish a standard language-competence system for foreign-related legal talents, and undertakes the historical mission of foreign-language planning to enhance national language competence in the new era. As a field of foreign-related law, legal English planning is a specific measure for colleges and universities to make full use of the advantages of the disciplines of law and foreign languages to implement the national policy of cultivating excellent legal talents. Through the training of excellent legal talents, the state’s ability to deal with foreign-related legal affairs can be improved and, eventually, a harmonious foreign-related legal language life can be achieved. Legal English planning does not only meet the need for the development of legal English, but also meet the objective need for the basic strategy of governing the country by law. This paper expounds on the necessity for, and the connotations and the contents of legal English planning from the aspects of both foreign-language planning and foreign legal language situations, and explores the establishment of a legal English planning system.

Keywords: legal English; foreign-language planning; language planning; language situations; national language competence; foreign-related legal talents

摘要：

法律英语作为法学和英语两个专业交叉的新兴学科,其规划既属于外语规划,也属于涉外法领域语言规划。作为外语规划,法律英语应明确和建立涉外法治人才的语言能力标准体系,承担起新时期提升国家语言能力的历史使命。作为涉外法领域,法律英语规划是高校充分利用法学和外语的学科优势来落实国家卓越法治人才培养计划的具体举措,其目的是通过培养卓越的法治人才,提升我国处理涉外法律事务的能力,最终实现和谐的涉外法律语言生活。法律英语规划既是依法治国基本治国方略的客观需要,也是法律英语学科自身发展的需要。本文从外语规划和涉外法律语言生活两个层面阐述了法律英语规划的必要性、内涵和内容,尝试初步构建法律英语规划体系。
