AB Specialized phraseology is a key field for the study of LSPs, as it has been demonstrated that meaning is achieved from word combinations and not from words in isolation. Phraseology has been widely studied by several authors—in particular, Roberts (1994), Gläser (1994) and Timmis (2015)—and only one author has focused on the specialized phraseology of legal language: Biel (2014). However, there are not many studies about the different subfields of legal language, specially about the phraseology of the court of justice. Thus, we aim at extending the knowledge about the legal phraseology of judgments from a functional approach. To this effect, we will compile a corpus of English court judgments of the EU, and we will analyze and classify their lexical chunks according to Biel’s work (2014). The results will prove that there is a specific phraseology for the genre of judgments, and that corpus linguistics is an effective tool for its study. Finally, we will conclude that the analysis of the specialized phraseology of judgments is useful for their adequate understanding, writing and translation.
