Resumen

This article aims at reporting the process of extraction of specialized phraseological units (SPUs) taken from a study corpus made up of articles of incorporation submitted to the process of sworn translation into English and from a comparable corpus composed of the same kind of documents originally written in English. We also made some comparisons between the SPUs found in both corpora. In addition to that, we made some comments on problems arisen when translating articles of incorporation from Portuguese into English. After this discussion, we set the terms out of which we extracted the SPUs.
