Abstract

The article focuses on the study of some grammatical and structural aspects of international treaties discussing the problems of their equivalent conveyance from English into Armenian. In particular, the article is aimed at studying the use of certain syntactic structures, passive constructions, modal verbs and other grammatical features of international treaties which frequently undergo transformations in the process of translation due to substantial differences between the English and Armenian language systems. To this end, the following methods have been applied: comparative and contrastive methods to study similarities and differences in the scope of the discussed linguistic phenomena, the method of deductive research for studying various types of transformations and testing them from practical perspective, and the method of logical syllogism to work out conclusions to finalize the research. The significance of this study consists in the fact that there is a lack of research on the translation of this type of legal documents in Armenia, and the article will contribute to raising the awareness of Armenian researchers about the problems of translating international treaties. The corpus used in this paper comprises the official translation of authentic bilateral international treaties concluded between the Republic of Armenia and a number of other states and published in the RA Official Bulletins of International Treaties of 2007 and 2009.

双边国际条约翻译的语法特征
本文着重研究了国际条约在语法和结构方面的一些特点,探讨了国际条约从英语到亚美尼亚语的对等转换问题。特别是,本文旨在研究由于英语和亚美尼亚语言系统之间的巨大差异,在翻译过程中经常发生变化的国际条约的某些句法结构,被动结构,情态动词和其他语法特征的使用。为此,运用了以下方法:比较和对比的方法来研究所讨论的语言现象范围的异同;演绎研究的方法来研究各种类型的转换并从实践的角度进行检验;逻辑三段论的方法来得出结论以完成研究。这项研究的意义在于,亚美尼亚缺乏对这类法律文件翻译的研究,这篇文章将有助于提高亚美尼亚研究人员对国际条约翻译问题的认识。本文中使用的语料库包括亚美尼亚共和国与其他一些国家缔结的真实双边国际条约的官方翻译,并在2007年和2009年的RA国际条约官方公报中公布。
