Description: The book examines the impact of Poland's accession to the European Union on legal Polish. With the help of corpus-based methods, the Eurofog project investigates the textual fit of EU Polish against nontranslated national law and verifies empirically how the unprecedented inflow of translations has affected post-accession legal Polish.

Review Quotes: In short, this is a very rich book with much to recommend it.
(Vilelmini Sosoni, The Journal of Specialised Translation 25/2016)

It is hard to overestimate the merits of Biel's outstanding book. It deserves the special attention of everyone who is interested not only in translation, but also in legal linguistics, EU legal communication, and language contact.
(Justyna Giczela-Pastwa, ZERL Zeitschrift für Europäische Rechtslinguistik 3. Jan. 2018)
