This is the guest editors' introductory paper to the special issue "Situating jurilinguistics across cultures using translation and discourse approaches." The introduction showcases the interdisciplinary vocation of jurilinguistics from its conception almost forty years ago. It is argued that jurilinguistics has achieved its current maturity by diversifying the disciplinary lenses of the originally contributing disciplines of legal translation and legal studies while keeping faithful to its original principles-facing practical problems with a rigorous outlook, venturing into any new domains that may prove enlightening, and combining professional and academic perspectives. The authors highlight how the series of conferences "Jurilinguistics: Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Study of Language and Law" have been instrumental in enhancing the scope of jurilinguistics. Finally, the articles gathered in this special issue are presented and their contributions in advancing the knowledge available for practitioners and scholars meeting at the interface between law and language are underscored.

Emanating from the recent sociological turn of translation studies scholarship (Wolf 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010), translation and interpreting practices in non-governmental organizations has become a field of research that imperatively requires cross-disciplinary approaches. This paper investigates multilingual initiatives carried out by the Human Rights Investigation Lab (HRIL) and Translators Without Borders (TWB) and their contribution to ensuring language access in crisis scenarios. Based on interviews with delegates from both organizations, and taking into consideration legal and sociological perspectives, it sets out a broad reflection on how translation studies research is evolving in the area of NGOs. It intends to address the caveats that can arise from both conceptual and empirical approaches in the design of future projects, as it explores the notion of discipline-specific knowledge and relevant concepts in translation training and external collaborations.

eds) (2016) Oxford: Oxford University PressAs put in the foreword of this volume, Translating the Social World for Law: Linguistic Tools for a New Legal Realism combines perspectives, from scholars in such diverse elds as law, philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, political science, psychology and religious studies, into the notion of legal translation. Legal translation, as its name suggests, includes inter-and intra-lingual e orts to transfer legal knowledge (and documents) into another language, and also encompasses the translation of legal cultures. In a globalized world, in which there are speakers of a vast array of languages, professionals from many elds including law and other social sciences assume that communication with other professionals (in and outside their particular disciplines) is egalitarian if they have a shared language. This edited volume challenges this idea by o ering conceptual and empirical work that de nes translation as a cross-disciplinary communication tool, without necessarily involving strictly referring to two di erent languages, but highlighting cross-disciplinary meaning transfers. With the aim of fostering a better understanding between law and the social sciences, the authors call for a "New Legal Realism" (NLR that proposes language as a common element of exploration in legal theory.The book is divided into ten chapters and each chapter presents a similar structure: metacommunicative norms (or linguistic ideologies), language details and contexts, worldviews (epistemologies) and interdisciplinary translation itself. The rst part of the book, Analyzing Legal Translations on the Ground, comprises three chapters and three

En este artículo analizamos las tendencias emergentes en los estudios sobre jurilingüística en relación con la práctica y la investigación de la traducción jurídica. Desde que se empleara por primera vez el término jurilingüística hace casi cuarenta años, este ha servido como paraguas para analizar las relaciones entre lengua y derecho. Aunque en un principio la investigación en este campo se centró en el discurso jurídico y la terminología, la globalización de las relaciones jurídicas y los cambios sociales han dado lugar a una ampliación de sus límites interdisciplinares, entre los que se incluyen la lingüística forense, la pragmática, la antropología o la sociología, entre otros (Jiménez-Salcedo y Moreno-Rivero 2017). En traductología, la jurilingüística ha adoptado un nuevo significado, alejado de la perspectiva puramente microlingüística, por el que se redefine la traducción en entornos jurídicos como una práctica situada (Monzó-Nebot y Moreno-Rivero 2020). En el marco de la jurilingüística, este artículo expone tres ejes principales de la traducción jurídica actual: en primer lugar, se presentan las aplicaciones actuales de la jurilingüística al estudio de géneros textuales y su traducción; seguidamente, se establecen las relaciones entre la lingüística de corpus y la traducción jurídica; por último, se propone una serie de estudios sobre metodología de la formación en el ámbito de la traducción jurídica.
