Extended Units of Meaning in Legal Translation

This paper focuses on Sinclarian extended units of meaning in Croatian and British English legal agreements. It reveals the formation of those extended units found in three types of legal agreements: sale and purchase, lease, right of habitation. The paper suggests that these extended units are far from straightforward. Furthermore, they cause translation problems, since the more expanded they are the more difficult it becomes to render them in another language. In legal translation it is extremely important to deal with these units properly, since translation errors can lead to serious consequences.
