Sažetak
The main aim of this paper is to provide a brief overview of some of the most significant language features of maritime institutional law texts. For this purpose an analysis has been carried out of two maritime institutional law texts ; Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) and United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNLOS). Apart from identifying some general language features, the paper mainly focuses on the syntactic and discourse level by adopting a genre-based approach to text analysis in order to describe the most important aspects of generic integrity of maritime institutional law texts by analysing examples of intertextual and interdiscursive patterning within the discourse in order to show how it is used to serve the general function of text cohering and generic and disciplinary functions of making maritime institutional law texts clear, precise, unambiguous and all-inclusive. This consideration of generic characteristics of maritime institutional law texts may serve to enhance understanding and interpretation of such texts and thus improve effectiveness in communication among professionals(non-legal experts) in the maritime industry who come in contact with such texts and it can also help elucidate some of the issues translators and Maritime English teachers may face in dealing with this particular type of discourse form.
