legal translation

a couple of things that I believe you need the next couple days to think over and reread; particularly the Introduction which seems a bit “rushed” and Chapter 2 which contains all the right and necessary information but in such a way that it is difficult to understand how/why one argument/suggestion follow from the other.

You need to make clear that you have had an imaginary scenario in mind when working on the translation (based on your own experiences as a MA student in the UK) as it is not clear.

At the end of your Introduction you also need to explain/introduce the content of each chapter (after having articulated the aim of your dissertation).

Also, keep in mind that:

– Direct quotes need to placed in double not single quotation marks.

– There needs to be consistency in spelling, e.g. Skopos, skopos or Skopos; -ise (UK) or -ize (US).

– There needs to be consistency in your in-text citations (page numbers are missing) and bibliography (some dates are not inside a parenthesis). Check with the uni guidelines as presented here: http://www2//referencing/harvard.html

Finally, remember that the presentation of your dissertation needs to comprise the following parts, in this order:
Title page (according to a prescribed format given by your department, usually in the form ” [Title of dissertation] being a dissertation in partial fulfilment of the degree of [name of degree] in the University of [date]” or similar – check carefully with your department, followed by your name)
Possibly an Acknowledgements page which thanks those who have helped you in all kinds of ways to compose your dissertation
List of chapters, sections, etc. and their page numbers (table of contents).
List of any abbreviations, acronyms or other specialist terminology or references (if any)
List of Figures and/or photographs (if any)
List of Appendices (if any)
The main body of the dissertation, with each chapter titled and begun on a new page
A reference list
(Possibly) a bibliography
Appendices
