The translation of legal, administrative and political texts from French in to Italian during the Napoleonic period. The example of Milan and Genoa

该项目涉及拿破仑时期的法律、行政和政治文本从法语翻译成意大利语。这些翻译将从语言学和翻译研究的角度进行分析，它们是法国大革命期间实施的翻译政策的结果，这种政策似乎与当时严格的单一语言政策相矛盾。在所谓的三年革命时期（1796年至1797年），几个姊妹共和国在法国的影响下成立，导致越来越多的官方法语翻译成意大利语。从语言学和翻译学的角度对这些译本的研究还不够深入。尤其缺乏对语言、翻译和法律之间相互依存关系的研究。本项目旨在填补这一空白的一部分。重点将是针对非专业公众的文本，例如法律（包括法律和法典汇编）、法令、公告和政治演说。从地理上讲，该项目涉及米兰和热那亚的情况。米兰在拿破仑时期的意大利有着重要的作用：它是阿尔卑斯山脉和意大利共和国的首都，后来是拿破仑意大利王国的首都。热那亚将被包括在内，因为利古里亚共和国是历史相对悠久的姐妹共和国之一，其历史直到现在才经常被研究。该项目有以下目标：1。1 .建立有关翻译的数据库（特别是尚未按书目进行分析的档案文本）。语言翻译问题及其解决方法的描述（从以下几个层面：词汇/术语、句法、文本结构、修辞）。3. 分析翻译对创造意大利法律和行政语言的作用（关于研究期间前后的对比语料库）翻译政策文件（分析与官方翻译组织有关的文件）。

This project deals with translation of legal, administrative and political texts from French into Italian during the Napoleonic period. These translations, that will be analyzed from the perspectives of linguistics and translation studies, are a consequence of a translation policy which was implemented during the French Revolution and which seems to contradict the strictly monolingual language policy of that period. The so called triennio rivoluzionario (1796-1797) saw the foundation of a couple of sister-republics under French influence which caused a growing number of official translations from French to Italian. These translations have not yet been studied thoroughly from the perspective of linguistics and translation studies. There is especially a lack of studies focusing on the interdependence of language, translation and law. This projects intents to fill a part of this gap. The focus will be on texts directed to a non-specialized public, e.g. laws (incl. collections of laws and codes of law), decrees, announcements and political speeches. Geographically speaking, the project deals with the situation in Milan and Genoa. Milan had important functions in Napoleonic Italy: capital of the Cisalpine and the Italian Republic and later of Napoleons Kingdom of Italy. Genoa will be included since the Ligurian Republic was one of the relatively long living sister-republics whose history has not often been studied until now. The project has the following goals: 1. Creation of a database of the translation in question (especially of archival texts that have not yet analyzed bibliographically) 2. Description of linguistic translation problems and their solutions (on the following levels: lexicon/terminology, syntax, text structure, rhetoric). 3. Analysis of the role that the translations played for the creation of an Italian language of law and administration (with regard to contrastive corpora from before and after the studied period) 4. Documentation of the translation policy (analysis of documents dealing with the organization of official translations).
