Translation of English Pronominal Adverbs used in legal documents


ترجمة لضمائر الحال المستخدمة في المستندات والعقود القانونية   

 

 

In English, pronominal adverbs are most commonly encountered in literary registers or in legal usage. They are used frequently by lawyers and drafters of legal documents primarily as a way of avoiding the repetition of names of things in the document (or sometimes as a self-reference to the document itself). For this reason, pronominal adverbs like hereof, thereof, and whereof (and further derivatives ending in -at, -in, -after, -before, -with, -by, -above, -on, -upon etc) are often seen as a type of legal jargon.


Here is a list of some of these words and the way in which they are used. It should be noted that the list is not exhaustive.
