Some approaches to translation of professional terms abbreviation in materials science

The dynamic growth of international collaboration in the scientific and professional spheres leads to a wave-like increase in the volume of translations of professional and scientific texts and determines the relevance of the problem under study. Translators have problems translating abbreviations of professional terms. This paper analyzes the ways of translating English abbreviations in the field of materials science. As research methods, we used, among other things, the analysis of methods of translating English abbreviations into Russian, the study of articles in the field of materials science, the collection of data on abbreviations of professional terms and the comparison of the ways of translation of abbreviations of professional terms in the texts of materials science. The article reveals the features of the ways of translating abbreviations of professional terms in materials science texts. The main results of the research work are the identification of problems of translation of English abbreviations that the translator faces in the field of materials science, and the determination of the use frequency of one or another translation method. The materials of the article can be useful for researchers in this field, physics students and translators of scientific and technical texts

Contrastive Corpus Research in Bilingual Phraseography

The paper discusses linguistic issues presenting difficulties for bilingual lexicography. The purpose of the study is to use data of parallel English and Russian corpora for description of non-trivial features of English phraseological constructions on the brink of / on the threshold of in comparison with their Russian equivalents на Ðрани / на пороÐе in the process of compiling of an English-Russian phraseological dictionary. Some ideas of construction grammar are applied as theoretical basis of this research work. The analysis of usage frequency of phraseological constructions applying statistical methods is put forward in this work. The results of the study show that the use of parallel corpora helps to reveal specific character of their functional correlations and non-trivial semantic preferences of English phraseological constructions which do not have standard Russian equivalences. The need for a new dictionary is motivated by the fact that at present there are no English-Russian phraseological dictionaries based on corpora and authentic data in international lexicography. The use of corpora helps to provide new vision of a contextual behavior of phraseological constructions and restrictions of their usage, which is very important for the purposes of lexicographic description

Approaches to Criteria Development Evaluating Efficiency of Innovative Forms of Teaching a Foreign Language

The urgency of the problem under study is due to the intensive development of information technologies and their ubiquitous distribution, which had a significant impact on the educational system, the development of new teaching aids and forms of organization of the educational process, such as distance learning. The development of IT encourages educational organizations to use innovative forms of education, for example, the use of robots as teachers or their assistants. In this regard, there is the problem of developing universal criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the educational process, organized using these tools. The purpose of the article is to develop universal criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the process of learning a foreign language, which can be used for a comparative analysis of various innovative means and forms of education. The leading approach to the study of this issue is a survey of an expert group and an analysis of existing works on this topic. The article also presents the results of a comparative analysis using these criteria of three forms of education: training with the presence of a teacher, distance learning and training with the help of a robot teacher. As a result of the study, universal criteria were developed for evaluating the effectiveness of the process of learning a foreign language, each of which was provided with a weighting factor, which made it possible to correctly process the results of a comparative analysis of various innovative forms of education. Article materials can be useful for teachers of foreign languages and educational organizations
