Resumen: The purpose of this work is to promote ESP reading comprehension among intermediate/advanced students, to focus on top-down processing and to develop successful strategies and activities to integrate reading with writing skills. Among the most interesting chapters in this book are the ones that describe cross-disciplinary variations of the English language, namely legal, technical, business and journalistic registers together with the one entitled "Graphic Text Representations" aimed at the exploitation of visuals to aid the understanding of textual information. The author gives sufficient proof that this is achieved by incorporating graphic organizers to either introduce new data, summarize facts or even complete details not provided in the main text. The characteristics of "Time" and "Newsweek" in the chapter of "The Written Press" (Part II), are also tackled and developed in detail by the author to highlight key elements in journalese. On the whole, thanks to its modular structure, the different units of this research can also be used as optional modules in the training of translators, interpreters, curriculum designers and ESP writers since they are planned as self-contained and independent learning sequences with their own objectives. Author Graciela Bulleraich holds the degrees of PhD in Modern Languages (USAL), Sworn Translator and English Teacher (UCA). She currently teaches Language IV at the Univ. of Buenos Aires. This book is based on the research conducted for her doctoral thesis and her experience in the field of applied linguistics.

Resumen: The aim of this book is to provide an easy introduction to the understanding of Legal English. The book is in four parts. In the first and second parts, a theoretical background is provided where emphasis is place on analysing the peculiar features of this variety of ESP (English for Specific Purposes). A linguistic approach (both morphological and semantical) has been adopted, although other disciplines have also been taken into account, in particular sociolinguistics. This is so because Legal English is the jargon (despectively dismissed as «legalese») of an elite whose job is the meting out of justice. The third part deals with translation but from a theoretical point of view. By making use of (mostly) pragmatic concepts. A framework has been established to account for as many meanings in the texts as possible. The fourth section contains texts and documents, as well as introductions in most cases, illustrative of the different areas of the Law (Housing Law, Criminal Law, etc). Special care has been taken to select a wide variety of texts and documents to allow readers to enjoy an overview of Legal English at work. This section is heavily annotated. These notes provide explanations and translations into Spanish of the most difficult words, expressions and concepts.
