For the translation of legal texts it is absolutely necessary to study terminology. In the case of Basque the need is even greater, as our language is not in a good situation in the field of law.
In recent years we have therefore worked to bring together in a single text the different translation techniques (use of adequate terminology, creation of new terms) and an in-depth knowledge of the legal systems which Basque must assimilate (Spanish, French and EU law). Once all this is correctly organised in a single text we can mould the "legal discourse" of Basque.
To attain this goal we have been translating doctrinal texts in law at the University of Deusto since 1994. | <-- | We wish to indicate the difficulties we have had over the years and also our achievements, if there can be said to be any. As indicated above, our study is based on the following: achieving a correct, high-quality legal discourse from the viewpoints of both law and linguistics, using translation and terminology to configure that discourse.

In this study we shall attempt to determine the resources through which each of these universal relationships can be expressed in Basque and where the limits of each resource lie (at least at the present). What types of adjective can be created through adjective generating suffixes? Although many referential adjectives can be expressed in Basque through compound words, this method clearly does not offer forms for all such adjectives. Where then is the limit? Where is the key? Is it in predicative/non predicative nature, in argumental, field or possessive relationships or is it elsewhere? Does definite/indefinite, animate/inanimate, countable/uncountable nature have any influence? Is impossibility influenced by whether the noun modified is an action, a consequence or an object? Under what conditions could we be forced to use loans to translate referential adjectives from other languages into Basque? When do we use noun complements in Basque to replace adjectives in other languages? | <-- | In summary, the aim of this study is to achieve a systematisation which can help us find the equivalent in Basque to referential adjectives in neighbouring languages in a fairly automatic way.
