The article presents the results of the research into folklore translation, which is carried out through a comparative study of the translation texts and the original folklore texts and through integrative modelling (hypothetical description) of the translation process. Nenets folklore texts recorded during expeditions to the Kanin tundra and their translations into Russian performed at the Ethnocultural Centre of the Nenets Autonomous Area were used as the material for the analysis. The peculiarities of folklore translation from the Nenets language into Russian are exemplified by the text in the genre of oral story. It is shown that they are connected both with the linguistic factors of folklore text content transmission (language-oriented, speech-oriented and communicative) and extralinguistic factors influencing the translation (specifics of donor culture and its relations with recipient culture, the history of Nenets people, the history of folklore translation development. The article reveals how the integrative approach can be applied to the study of Nenets folklore texts translation into Russian. It is based on the ideas of integrative translation studies being actively developed at the Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M. V. Lomonosov. Due to the integrated consideration of internal and external factors of translation, while taking into account historical and ethno-cultural prerequisites for the translation process, as well as the specifics of the translation product and the features of the translated text reception, folklore translation is positioned as a means to preserve the indigenous language.

The article presents the results of the study on the specificity of the translation strategy chosen by N.V. Vladimirova, a famous Uzbek philologist and translator. The research aims to prove that the translation strategy is a multi-level concept, which implies the algorithm of translator's actions, including thoughtful choice of the text genre, the use of one-level translation form, appreciation of artistic and esthetic value of the text, reliable reconstruction of personage image in literary translation, in particular, psychological portraying, and national authenticity of literary work representation, revealed in the unity of its form and content. The analysis of N.V. Vladimirova's translations of the Uzbek stories Novvoy qiz (Baker Girl) by Chulpan and Uloqda (On Ulak) by A. Kadyri demonstrated the application of this strategy. It was revealed that the dominant translation tactics used by N.V. Vladimirova, was transformation (replacement, omission, adding, transposition). National authenticity and emotional mode of the original are shown to be preserved due to the use of this tactics. The description of translation strategies applied by other well-known translators is viewed as a research perspective. It will contribute to revealing similarity and differences in literary text translation, thus enabling the understanding of the trajectory of translation schools development in a particular period.

The present paper focuses on external language-based culture presentation, which can result from two distinct kinds of translation – the traditional translation, departing from a culturally loaded text, and the translation of culture, departing directly from the culture being presented. Despite the fact that in both instances we deal with translation and similar linguistic mechanisms are being involved, the comparative study of a transcultural text of L. Tolstoy's Hadji Murad and its translation into English allows to demonstrate significant distinctions between the two modes of translation. At that, the distinctions affect such core features of translation as its accuracy and readability. In particular, the study revealed that the direct translation of culture, being unconditioned by the source text and the derivative status, tends to be more precise in rendering the specific features of a unique culture it deals with, introducing xenonymic elements at the expense of language homogeneity. While traditional text-to-text translation, striving to comply with the requirements of readability and normality, cultural meanings appear to be much more prone to neutralizing and distorting. The presented study demonstrates that the losses and distortions we associate with translation are not inevitable and can be minimized. The practice underlying the translation of culture can serve as a source of a strategy fit to deal with culturally loaded texts.

In the article, using the activity approach developed in the works of A.N. Leontiev, translation is presented as a three-level succession of actions, including orientation and translation solution choice, its embodiment, coordinating the result obtained with the decision made. The synthesizing stage in the activity of an industry translator, within which the switching from the source language to the target language and the creation of the translated text is carried out, is considered in conjunction with the synthesizing stage of training in translation specialties in higher educational institutions. Existing in translation studies grounds enabled the author to show that the basis for translation text generation, including the selection of language means, is the image of the source text (its concept, meaning), which the translator must recreate in the translation text. Translation objectives that are relevant at this stage of professional activity are identified. The skills and abilities of a professional industry translator, which are necessary for performing the tasks, are characterized. It is substantiated that in order to form professional translation competence at the synthesizing stage of training, in addition to the disciplines provided for by the basic part of educational programs, it is necessary to introduce some new special disciplines into the training program.

The article analyses the determined character of forming multilingual Internet space in terms of the status of language in the system of world languages and in the set of languages of website content. Multilingualism is considered as a new stage in the development of web communication, replacing the brief periods of English dominance and the emergence of Internet segments in national languages. The tendency towards representation of content in different languages reflects an attitude towards considering users as participants in institutional discourses. The study uses the examples from material that has undergone a detailed interpretation stage in translation classes and during the preparation of final qualification papers by students in translation. The basis of translatological logistics of a multilingual resource consists in the fact that a site hypertext is objectively conditioned by a set of linguistic characteristics of the original content and the pragmatics of creating translated versions. Therefore, creating a global version in English involves not only changing the site structure, reducing texts and neutralising linguistic and cultural markings, but also ensuring that content is understandable to a wide audience owing to appropriate translation techniques application. Translation into German may be driven by marketing factors, French versions occur in response to high demands of linguistic "purism" in the state and society, while translation into Russian allows expanding the audience of potential users. It is revealed that the use of machine translation in the material reviewed is restricted by the purposes of the discourse and the sociopragmatics of the recipient of the translated version. The refusal to translate using a built-in browser extension reflects the sender's focus on effective communication and his desire to meet the recipient's "horizon of expectations". It is stated that the Internet space development is not determined by regulatory mechanisms, but by the orientation of resources towards the objectives of discourses and the needs and capabilities of their participants.

The article focuses on the phenomenon of "translatological ecosystem of the region", which is studied with application of an integrative approach to Translation Studies. Polydiscursive hypertext translation discourse is an integral part of the regional urban discourse and the regional ecosystem on the whole; their interdependence, co-development and interpenetration determine the formation of a special regional ecosystem of translation with distinctive constitutive features. An attempt is made to analyse the factors of formation and development of the regional translatological ecosystem on the example of the Hero City of Volgograd. The hermeneutic and interpretive perspective of the study has enabled identifying and describing various means of regionally conditioned communication actualization with the involvement of translation services, determining the constituent features of the translatological ecosystem and their dominance factors in the urban discourse of the region under study and characterizing this translation ecosystem specificity. The model of the translation ecosystem is presented considering its polydiscursive nature. The system- and city-forming concepts that have an initial impact on the translational action in the region are identified. The translation discourses, which comprise the translatological ecosystem are analysed in detail, industrial, excursion, specialised, educational, social and political ones included. The research contributes to the formation of discursive regional Applied Translation Studies and enhances a novel direction in the science of translation – Eco-Translatology.

The article discusses the comparative hermeneutic analysis of the semantic-derivational worldview of the translators who render the classical poetic text in different historical periods. The relevance of the study is stipulated by the increased attention to the sociocultural determination of meaning generation within the framework of the cognitive-and-discursive paradigm that dominates in the modern community of linguists and translators. Cossack Cradle Song and its five translations into German carried out in different periods served as the practical material. The article aims to establish the features of multi-temporal Russian-German translations of the poem and the source text as a single semantic space that reflects the worldview of the author of the original text, variably explicated by different translators through the language of the target text. According to the research hypothesis, poetic translation reflects the translator's hermeneutic interaction with the original text, which generates the personal meaning of the translated text. The findings of the linguo-stylistic analysis of the Cossack Cradle Song at the semantic, meta-semiotic, and meta-metasemiotic levels, reveal that the compensation technique plays the leading role in the process of translating the poetic text studied in this article, contributing to the achievement of expressive and impressive equivalence of the original and the translation in the process of explication of invariant content-factual and content-conceptual meanings, as well as the subjective-personal determinism of translation decisions, which does not contradict the intentions implied by the author of the source text.

The article examines replies of healthcare professionals on ask-a-doctor forums, which have barely been treated in terms of popularization strategies employed in expert-lay interactions where a set of specialized concepts needs to be displayed in a way that enables lay users to understand them. The study was thus motivated by the lack of explicit guidance for healthcare professionals who are to interact with lay persons, and challenges faced by lay users in attempting to understand abstract specialized concepts. The study is based on the assumption that popularization strategies improve comprehensibility of medical information, prevent the emergence of communicative problems, and contribute to the dissemination of medical knowledge to a lay audience. A taxonomy of the strategies used by healthcare professionals in disseminating medical knowledge on ask-a-doctor forums is built, linguistic markers that signify these strategies in expert-lay interactions are identified. A corpus-based analysis revealed that definitions, denominations and reformulations were the most common tools employed by doctors to communicate specialized knowledge to lay-forum users. Metaphors and scenarios were infrequent in the corpus. Combined strategies were also used in doctors' replies, but their share was insignificant. It was concluded that the use of popularization tools in disseminating medical knowledge is an effective discursive mechanism that facilitates understanding among lay addressees and produces specific reactions by resorting to familiar concepts and domains.

The paper considers the analysis of translatological trilingualism which is essential for cross-cultural exchange and translation studies. Today trilingualism is perceived as a form of multilingualism that includes a mechanism for formation and development of a language personality. The paper presents the accumulated experience of trilingual educational techniques in Russia and abroad, which was starkly demonstrated by I. Alexeeva, as well as the perspectives of their implementation into the educational process. Trilingualism is considered as a complex phenomenon that includes anthropological, social and linguistic, as well as social and cultural components. The aspect of cultures which implies the phased existence of the same text in three linguistic substances, as well as translation of literary works aimed at transfer of the works of fiction from one language to another through an intermediary language. Concurrently, the special attention is paid to the Russian language and its productive role as a cultural mediator in translation of the world literature to the languages of the peoples of Russia, which has not been thoroughly studied yet. The intermediary results of the research were presented by A. Boyarkina. The paper reveals perspectives for application of the trilingual model in order to expand the translatological functions of the artificial intelligence. The Master's programme in "Translation Theory, Cross-Cultural and Cross-Lingual Communication" implemented at Kazan Federal University, revealed by S. Takhtarova, the head of the programme, and K. Prosyukova, the coordinator of the programme, as well as other educational programmes in St. Petersburg and Almaty, carefully analysed by I. Alexeeva and A. Boyarkina, are the successful examples of trilingualism as an educational tool. To sum up, it is concluded that the interaction of three languages is able to create the effective educational environment that ensures the exchange of cultures and transmits cultural values, as well as linguistic and translation skills, formed on the basis of other two languages.

Trilingualism is considered as a complex phenomenon that includes anthropological, social and linguistic, as well as social and cultural components. The aspect of cultures which implies the phased existence of the same text in three linguistic substances, as well as translation of literary works aimed at transfer of the works of fiction from one language to another through an intermediary language. Concurrently, the special attention is paid to the Russian language and its productive role as a cultural mediator in translation of the world literature to the languages of the peoples of Russia, which has not been thoroughly studied yet. The intermediary results of the research were presented by A. Boyarkina. The paper reveals perspectives for application of the trilingual model in order to expand the translatological functions of the artificial intelligence. The Master's programme in \"Translation Theory, Cross-Cultural and Cross-Lingual Communication\" implemented at Kazan Federal University, revealed by S. Takhtarova, the head of the programme, and K. Prosyukova, the coordinator of the programme, as well as other educational programmes in St. Petersburg and Almaty, carefully analysed by I. Alexeeva and A. Boyarkina, are the successful examples of trilingualism as an educational tool. To sum up, it is concluded that the interaction of three languages is able to create the effective educational environment that ensures the exchange of cultures and transmits cultural values, as well as linguistic and translation skills, formed on the basis of other two languages.","PeriodicalId":42545,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik Volgogradskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta-Seriya 2-Yazykoznanie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89416745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
