A Corpus-based Approach to Comparative Lexicology and Structures for Multilingual Specialised Translations: English, French, German and Spanish First Instance and First-Tier Court Judgments | Chapter 6 | Current Progress in Arts and Social Studies Research Vol. 8

This study employs a corpus-based approach to analyze and compare the lexicological and structural features of first-tier and first-instance court judgments from four major legal systems: English, French, German, and Spanish. The study aims to identify similarities and differences in these judicial texts, focusing on their phraseology, syntactic conventions, and unique jurisdictional terminologies. By analyzing a curated corpus of 80 court judgments, 20 from each jurisdiction, the study provides insights into the recurring linguistic patterns and stylistic features that shape the drafting of judicial decisions across these jurisdictions. The findings highlight the interplay between language, culture, and legal systems, underscoring the challenges and opportunities for specialized multilingual legal translation. Additionally, the study identifies frequently used phraseologies that contribute to a clearer understanding of legal reasoning, thereby offering practical tools for translators, legal practitioners, and scholars. This research contributes to the growing field of comparative legal linguistics and proposes strategies for improving the accuracy and functionality of multilingual legal translations in the context of globalized legal practice.

Changes in Food Consumption Patterns due to COVID: Is There a New Post COVID Food Consumer? | Chapter 01 | New Innovations in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 9

 Food is a physiological requirement with significant social and cultural implications. Eating habits have long been regarded as one of the most stable aspects of a person's social background. However, we are living in a period of significant change, with a significant impact on the population's nutritional status, driven, among other things, by new lifestyles and conditions, technological advancements and distribution systems, the emergence of new foods, and new methods of preparation and processing.

The primary goal of this study is to see if daily food patterns of people changed during the Coronavirus quarantine. The following objectives have been defined in order to achieve this goal: Examine food consumption patterns, food consumer typologies, and food waste. the new target post covid set of customers, evaluate consumer perceptions of distribution channels, look into grocery shopping online, and identify venues for selling local food.This research examines the influence of the COVID-19 health crisis on people's food interests, beliefs, and behaviour. In addition, an online poll (n = 232 Spaniards) looked into how food purchasing habits changed throughout the epidemic. The questionnaire was created using the Google Forms tool and distributed using instant messaging apps like WhatsApp, social media like Facebook and Twitter, social networking sites like LinkedIn and ResearchGate, and email through snowball sampling to try to cover the entire Leon territory and reach the greatest number of people through mobile phones, tablets, and computers. The SPSS application was used to conduct the statistical analysis.

Using the Mediterranean Diet as a benchmark for healthy eating, we may conclude that the adult population of Spain is on the verge of adopting healthy eating habits. There was an improvement in food habits when COVID-19 was confined.

Vicente Blasco Ibañez: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Civil War of Europeans as a Cultural Struggle and the First Worldwide Plague | Chapter 8 | Arts and Social Studies Research Vol.3

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a novel about the First World War, was written in 1916 by the
Spanish author Vicente Blasco Ibáñez. Ibáñez was a liberal intellectual and opponent to German
militarism and the Dinasty of Austria, whose kings were been intolerant and retrograde during its rule
of Spain in the Seventeenth Century. This study explores the imperialist, militarist and cultural
tensions of the Great War through Ibáñez’s novel. The formation of blocks of alliances and the
capture of rich territories, according to Lenin, translated into the juxtaposition of the German Reich—
represented historically by old Germania and the current German Empire fighting for European
supremacy—with the Latinity of Ancient Rome and the contemporary French Republic. This cultural
and ideological struggle is reflected in the novel’s characters and dialogue. Ibáñez suggests that the
1914 confrontation arose from the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. In the novel, the conflict is typified in
two opposing novelistic characters, a German and a Frenchman, who immigrate to Argentina, in
South America, to escape war and poverty. Both return to their countries of origin rich and related to
each other, having married the daughters of a rich landlord, Madariaga, although his sons have
become cousins and nephews and they face each other from opposite sides of the battlefield. World
War I is an irresistible force the magnitude of which draws together all the characters, Ibáñez was
absorbed in narrating the first year of the war, when France suffered bitter defeats, and writing about
this ongoing event led to his success in the USA, where he maintained the appreciation of the public
by quickly creating a film version of the novel.
