Abstrakt: | The present study intends to examine the use of the nominal and verbal syntactic
patterns in a corpus of 20 different instruments in the English and Polish version of
the Community legislation. The issues discussed cover: the frequency of passive- and
other syntactic patterns- occurrence in English and Polish as well as an attempt to
establish certain rules that would account for the differences in the results obtained
in the course of the analysis. The hypothesis underlying the present investigations
is that Polish language is more nominal in nature. Since legal language favors the
use of ‘subjectless’ sentences the subject of the sentence is rarely mentioned. However,
in Polish it is sometimes unnatural to employ repetitive passive constructions,
especially in literary written discourse which seeks syntactic variety and dynamism.
Whether this reluctance towards passive also applies to legal discourse as exemplifi
ed in the Community legislation is a question to be resolved. We shall see whether
techniques such as nominalizations or the active voice are favored more than the
passives. |
