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

Comparison of Methods for classifying data for division into groups when learning English

The article deals with the possibility of applying methods of data analysis, in particular data classification, with the aim of dividing the students into groups when learning English. Purpose of the research is to compare methods for classifying data such as a method of k-nearest neighbors, and decision tree. It is necessary to define what the optimality criterion is and to compare models based on these methods. The result of the research detects two models, allowing the input data to divide students into groups to study the English language, and an analysis of the feasibility of their application

Variety of exercises in teaching translation of scientific and technical texts

Relevance of the issue under study is due to the necessity of providing students of technical specialities (with low language level) with necessary translation skills. The purpose of the article is to develop a system of exercises for teaching scientific and technical translation for students of non-linguistic specialities in the program of continuing education “Translator in the sphere of professional communication”. The article outlines the opportunities how to use them in the teaching process. The leading approaches to the study are analyze and generalization of teaching experience of scientific and technical translation in Russian and foreign non-linguistic institutes of higher education, monitoring the activities of professional translators of scientific and technical texts, formation of methodical system of training when translating scientific and technical texts (from English into Russian). The results showed the absence of ideal teaching aids and special system of exercises that could be applied in preparation of translators in the field of “Information security”. The article may be useful for lecturers and for self-education of the general public
