Description
This is the dataset of 50 fully metaphorical terms related to the paper "Transferring metaphorical terms in EU legal acts: A comparative study of transfer procedures from English into Estonian, Finnish, French, and Italian" published in the Journal of Specialised Translation (JoSTrans). The study investigates how fully metaphorical English terms have been transferred into the Estonian, Finnish, French, and Italian versions of EU directives, regulations, and decisions. The aim was to determine whether previously identified interlingual transfer procedures (Järve and Kerremans 2023) were applied when rendering metaphorical terms into target languages and whether different types of terms could be associated with particular transfer procedures. Proceeding from 90 fully metaphorical English terms extracted from the IATE termbase, the terms were searched for in EUR-Lex and traced within EU legal acts, along with their target language renderings. 50 terms were detected in legal acts. This dataset contains text fragments in which these terms occur. Based on this data, the terms were analysed etymologically, conceptually, and typologically to determine transfer patterns. As the dataset was compiled using a descriptive approach and qualitative selection criteria, further adaptation would be required for subsequent quantitative analysis. (2026-08-31)
