Communicative Situation and Linguistic Composition of a Target text in Specialised Translation: Contextual and Conceptual Aspect

The article highlights the dependence of the degree to which the content of the source text is reproduced in translation on the peculiarities of the communicative situation and the translation strategy. The problem is topical due to the need to specify the strategies of specialized translation in the framework of the communicative-functional approach to translation. Three types of strategies as well as communicative situations in which translation is used are defined. The text of a register receipt and its translations is used for analysis. Special attention is paid to substantiation of the necessity to take into account the needs of the target text recipient and the translation goal in choosing a translation strategy and the means of its implementation. The authors argue that the content of a specialized text is reproduced in translation to the degree which is predetermined by the characteristics of the substantive activity of the target text end-user. It is also argued that the provisions of the so called text-oriented approach to translation have no validity for choosing a strategy of translating a specialized text. The research is innovative for the fact that it proves that there is no need to reproduce the content of a specialized text in full in some communicative situations. The notion of ergonomics of translation defined as convenience to use the target text by its recipient is novel

On the Importance of a Translator’s Strategic Competence in Performing a Need-focused Translation

Статья посвящена рассмотрению стратегической компетенции, которая в соответствии с коммуникативно-функциональным подходом к переводу понимается как совокупность умений переводчика по осуществлению переводческого анализа коммуникативной ситуации и текста и выбору наиболее подходящей стратегии перевода и методов ее реализации. Обосновывается важность принципа обучения студентов переводу как средству удовлетворения потребностей конкретных людей, применение которого подразумевает помещение переводческого акта в контекст определенной коммуникативной ситуации. Действенность этого принципа, нацеленного в том числе на развитие у студентов стратегической компетенции, подтверждается примером моделирования двух коммуникативных ситуаций, в которых в качестве объекта перевода выступает один и тот же текст и специфика которых обусловливает использование двух разных стратегий перевода — стратегии коммуникативно-равноценного перевода и стратегии переадресации.The paper deals with a strategic competence, viewed in accordance with the communicative-functional approach to translation as a set of translator’s skills, which consist in conducting a translation-oriented analysis of a given communicative situation and text and subsequently choosing the most appropriate translation strategy and methods of its implementation. It substantiates the importance of the principle of teaching students translation as a means of meeting the need of a certain person, the use of which implies the immersion of a translation activity in a certain communicative situation. The effectiveness of this principle, aimed, among other things, at developing students’ strategic competence, is exemplified by simulating two communicative situations in which one and the same source text is used and the peculiarity of which determines the use of two different translation strategies — the strategy of communicatively equivalent translation and the strategy of redirection

Long-chain alkyl esters of O,O-dialkyl dithiophosphoric and thionophosphoric acids prepared on the basis of red phosphorus, elemental sulfur, alcohols, and industrial fractions of higher monoolefins

Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. Mixtures of long chain S-alkyl O,O-dialkyl dithiophosphates, and O-alkyl O,O-dialkyl thionophosphates were obtained by the reaction of red phosphorus with elemental sulfur, alcohols, and industrial fractions of C16-C18 and C20-C26 of higher olefins in the presence of Lewis acid catalysts. The products obtained possess high anticorrosion activities toward mild steel

Phosphorylation and thiophosphorylation of oligomeric polyesterpolyols of boltorn H20, H30, AND H40

Dialkyl phosphate derivatives of Boltorn H20, H30, and H40 were prepared by the use of ultrasound irradiation in the substitution reactions of the polyesterpolyols with dialkyl chlorophosphates. Unsaturated polyacrylates were obtained by the reactions of Boltorn H20, H30, and H40 with acryloyl and methacryloyl chlorides. The reactions of these polyacrylate esters with O,O-dialkyl dithiophosphoric acids in the presence of Lewis acid catalysts have brought about the formation of the corresponding dithiophosphates.

Dithiophosphoric and dithiophosphonic acids and their derivatives on the basis of thymol: Synthesis and antimicrobial activity

Biologically active dithiophosphoric and dithiophosphonic acids, their ammonium salts as well as S-silyl and S-plumbyl derivatives were prepared by the reaction of thymol with tetraphosphorus decasulfide and 2,4-diaryl 1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane-2,4-disulfides. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC

Thiophosphorylation of pharmacophoric phenols, diols, and triols

Novel organyldithiophosphonic and bis(aryldithiophosphonic) acids were obtained by the reaction of 2,4-diorganyl 1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane-2,4- disulfides with paracetamol, 4-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)phenol, ethambutol dihydrochloride, vitamin B6, and its acetonide derivatives. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC

Borylation of calix[4]resorcinols under ultrasonic irradiation

The use of ultrasonic irradiation in the reactions of trialkyl borates with octahydroxytetraoctyl[l 4] metacyclophane allowed us obtaining tetraalkoxyboratocavitands with higher yields and under milder conditions. We first obtained 1,3,2-dioxaborolane and 1,3,2-dioxaborinane derivatives of tetraoctyl[l 4]meta-cyclophane using ultrasonic irradiation. Boratocavitands were converted into the corresponding amine complexes with isobutylamine. © 2012 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
