If we consider corpus linguistics as the study of a language through its samples, we should give credit to its contribution to the advancement of various sub-fields of linguistics: lexicography, translation studies, applied linguistics, diachronic studies and contrastive linguistics. The latter can be regarded as a special case of a linguistic typology that is distinguished from other types of typological approaches by a small sample size and a high degree of granularity (Gast 2011: 2-3). Nowadays, corpus-based contrastive studies can be treated as a growing research area that focuses on two or more languages. The present paper makes an attempt to discuss the usefulness of the specialized combined parallel-comparable corpus while dealing with legalese. The effectiveness is presented on the example of the legal institution fiducie. The methodology of research comprises the comparative analysis as well as the corpus-based analysis of the terms related to the fiducie-s presented in three varieties of French: France’s, Canadian and Luxembourgish. The carried out research reveals the juridical-semantic differences and the problematics of the verbal realization of the concepts related to three fiducie-s. These hinder a proper interpretation and complicate the process of translation. The major solution is found through the specification of meaning by renaming.

Fiduciary transfer of ownership is being introduced in more and more civil law jurisdictions as a reply to increasing popularity of trust viewed as a division in ownership between the trustee and the beneficiary. I used examples of Quebec, France, and Germany to show how these civilian systems deal with the notion of division of ownership. In the first two they use various constructs such as division of patrimony, or no one's patrimony, while in Germany it seems it is clear that the trustee acquires full ownership over entrusted assets whereas settlor or beneficiary have only personal rights. Also one gets the impression that the focus was at the protection of entrusted patrimony from the creditors. Nothing suggests that due attention was paid to the protection of settlor or beneficiary in case of trustee's breach of trust and alienation of entrusted assets contrary to the trust instrument. I believe that settlor or beneficiaries should have rights in REM against the trustee and third party acquirers of entrusted assets, and that leads to the concept of fiduciary ownership as a division in ownership between the settlor and the trustee or trustee and beneficiary, essentially it means the emergence of different kinds of ownership.

Language and jurisprudence are deeply interconnected. The legal terminology of any language as well as the legal system itself is a result of “a historical evolution which did not happen on its own, as if in a vacuum, but in constant interchange with other legal languages and legal systems”1. Contemporary jurisprudence faces a lot of new opportunities and changes. Increasing globalization breaks down all the barriers via the “dédaublement du monde”. It involves the reconstruction of all spheres of life. Within the framework of globalizing changes Europe is facing the tendency “to draw up a uniform law on the basis of work by experts in comparative law and to incorporate it in a multipartite treaty”2.The creation of uniform legal system presupposes the change of terminological landscape. Therefore, the comparative study of juridical terms and suppositions regarding new translational tendencies acquire the greatest urgency. The give paper deals with the study of the Swiss “trust-like mechanisms”. The major emphasis is put on the actual problems emerged during the translation of terminological units related to such juridical institutions as the “Fiducie” and “Treuhand”.

In the article the author investigates the peculiarities of trusts and trust-like constructions in Scotland, the Canadian province of Quebec and the South African Republic. Each of these countries (territories), due to various historical, economic and other reasons, combines the essential features of civil and common law, that's why they are known in comparative law as mixed jurisdictions. This situation has led them to creation completely unique legal institutions which can achieve the same results as English trust, while taking into account national specificity.

The common law trust has become extremely popular since the beginning of the previous century. Many civil law countries have been oriented on the implementation of this legal institution in their jurisdictions. However, the "introduction of the trust (or analogous institutions) requires not only the translation of common-law rules into civil-law concepts but also a precise choice about the functions to be performed by these instruments" (Vicari, 2014: 3). The given paper is dedicated to the juridical and linguistic study of the French and Romanian trust-like devices (fiducie and fiducia). The main accent is put on their latest developments, comparative analysis and juridical-linguistic characteristics. The major results indicate that the contemporary Romanian fiducia has the French origin. However, its roots can also be found in the Roman law - in the Roman entrusting relationships. The paper aims at giving some terminological insights and proposes certain linguistic corrections, which answer to the demands of the modern epoch. The major method of the research is a comparative analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the previous centuries, different communities of the world have progressively established closer relationships. However, these processes have significantly "deepened" during the last decades. Globalization has stipulated the interconnectedness of juridical systems of the world. Closer contacts resulted in the popularization of the "trust" - a unique creature of Equity. The "trust" appeared at the end of the Middle Ages. However, after "invading" American business sphere, its alternative devices appeared throughout Europe. Initially, the implementation of these devices was contradicted by the traditions of the continental law-governed countries - the duality of ownership seemed almost unacceptable to the "rigid" European jurisdictions. However, despite such circumstances, "trust-like" mechanisms appeared in different forms and variations. The given paper is focused on the study of the Swiss and Luxembourgish trust-like devices. The greatest emphasis is put on the formation of these institutions, their peculiarities and influence on the development of Switzerland and Luxembourg. The terminological context of the study directly points to the origin of the newly adopted mechanisms. Moreover, the novelty of the research is presented by the terminological approach towards the innovative legal institutions and by the assumptions concerning the strategies of their future impact and development.

In the hereby article, the author reviews from a critical perspective the existence under Romanian legislation of the "fiducie" institution in force since 2011 and enacted by the new Civil code by comparing it with the similar Anglo-Saxon institution of trust. Starting from the definition given to the "fiducie " compared with the definitions of the trust under legislations where this regulation has been used used for a long period of time, although certain conceptual resemblances are observed, the author points out the main differences that impede these instruments to be totally overlapped. The practical uses of the trust in jurisdictions where such instrument has a richer history are also pointed out as an indicator of the potential practical uses of the "fiducie" under Romanian legislation. The functional relation between the "fiducie" and the administration of the property of others, as legal transplants from different jurisdictions also represents a point of interest. De lege ferenda the author submits to discussion the possibility for Romania's adhering to 1985 Hague Convention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
