Abstract

The expression “intersemiotic legal translation” refers to all forms of legal translation that use at least two different semiotic codes, of which at least one is not verbal. The article will analyze four different conceptions of intersemiotic translation by highlighting the different potential applications in the legal field, as well as the limitations related to this form of translation. The concept of “intersemiotic legal translation” will be examined as a species of the genus “legal translation”, and will be framed according to a typology consisting of six types of legal translation that will take both its semiotic and its legal dimensions into account.
