Summary/Abstract: The objective of this paper is to provide some lines of general reflection on the special relationship uniting language and law. This approach allows the introduction of a new hybrid discipline, jurilinguistics, that draws upon both the former and the latter. Since jurilinguistics has begun to play a remarkable role in the global legal and economic context (as is the case of the EU), we will try both to show its genesis and its various manifestations, doing so from the perspective of the translation of legal discourse.
