This project deals with translations of legal and administrative texts from French into German during the ‘Republic of Mainz’ (1791-1793) and the French period (1798-1814) in Rhinehessen and the Palatinate region. These translations, which shall be analyzed from the perspective of linguistics and translation studies, are the consequence of a translation policy which began during the French Revolution and which contradicts clearly the general tendency of the French linguistic policy of this period, which consisted in the oppression of all forms multilingualism. The translations which result from this translation policy have not yet been studied in detail from the perspective of linguistics and translation studies with regard to the language pair French-German. There are some studies in the fields of (legal) history and German linguistics, but, until now, no studies dealing with the interdependencies of language, translation and law from the perspective of French-German translation history (the applicant carried out studies for the language pairs French-Dutch and French-Italian in the context of two DFG-funded projects). The submitted project aims to close a part of this research gap. It focuses on translations of texts directed to a wide public, e.g. laws (including collections of laws and legal codes), decrees and public announcements. For practical reasons, the project is geographically limited to the territory of the Republic of Mainz (1792-1793) and the Department Mont-Tonnerre / Donnersberg (1798-1814). We will take a comparative look on the town of Landau in the Palatinate region. Landau had been under French administration since 1680 and belonged to the Department Bas-Rhein (Northern Alsace) during the analyzed period. The submitted project has the following goals: 1. Creation of a database of the translations in question on the basis of the existing databases for translations from French into Dutch and Italian, implemented during the two former DFG-funded projects. 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 development of the German language of law and administration (including a comparative look to corpora from before and after the studied period). 4. Documentation of the translation policy (analysis of documents dealing with the organization of translations).

该项目涉及“美因茨共和国”（1791-1793）和法国时期（1798-1814）莱茵黑森和普法尔茨地区的法律和行政文本从法语到德语的翻译。语言学和翻译研究的视角，是法国大革命期间开始的翻译政策的结果，它与这一时期法国语言政策的总体趋势明显相矛盾，后者在法国的压迫下逃亡。这种翻译政策所产生的翻译尚未从语言学和翻译研究的角度对法语-德语语言对进行详细研究。（法律）历史和翻译领域也有一些研究。德国语言学，但迄今为止，还没有从法德翻译史的角度对语言、翻译和法律之间的相互依存关系进行研究（申请人在法德翻译史的背景下对法语-荷兰语和法语-意大利语语言对进行了研究）。二DFG 资助的项目旨在弥补这一研究空白，重点是面向广大公众的文本翻译，例如法律（包括法律和法律法规的集合）、法令和公告。由于原因，该项目在地理上仅限于美因茨共和国（1792-1793）和Mont-Tonnerre / Donnersberg（1798-1814）的领土。看看普法尔茨地区的朗道 (Landau) 镇。朗道自 1680 年以来一直受法国管理，在分析期间属于下莱茵省 (北阿尔萨斯)。 提交的项目有以下目标： 1. 创建数据库。 2. 描述语言翻译问题及其解决方案（在以下层面上）：词汇/术语、句法、文本结构、修辞） 3. 分析翻译对德语法律和行政语言发展的作用（包括对研究时期前后的语料库进行比较）。翻译政策的文件（对涉及翻译组织的文件进行分析）。
