ON THE ISSUE OF TRANSLATION STRATEGIES OF POLITICAL SPEECHES

Abstract

Modern translation studies which are of descriptive nature mainly presuppose the opportunity of altering the function of the source text in translation, reconstruction of sense and structure in correspondence with the aim of translation. The investigation has been carried out in the framework of the communicativefunctional approach to translation which accounts for the entire spectrum of linguistic and extra linguistic factors influencing translation in the broad sense. This fact proves the relevance of the article. The carried out analysis is aimed at determining the inventory of tactics and operations of the translations resulted from applying the strategy of communicatively equivalent translation and the strategy of tertiary translation. The implemented strategies of translation have been actualized by common tactics (the tactic of rendering relevant information, the tactic of rendering stylistic features, the tactic of rendering the source text formal and structural features), each having specific features of realization. Common operations for the applied tactics have proved to be as following: search for an equivalent or a variant equivalent.
