OPERATIONS IN TRANSLATIONS OF POPULAR SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES OF ECOLOGICAL THEME

Abstract

The work is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the Ukrainian-language translation of the texts of articles of the popular science substyle from the English language. Particular attention is paid to articles on environmental topics, which are quite common in the modern world. The relevance of the work is due to the need to study articles of the popular scientific sub-style of environmental topics as an object of translation studies and the peculiarities of their translation from English into Ukrainian. The aim of the study is to analyze the translation operations used in the translation of texts of the popular scientific sub-style of the ecological theme. To achieve this aim, it is necessary to define the concept of popular science article as an object of translation studies and to investigate translation operations. Despite the popularity of popular science articles (especially environmental topics) in modern society, this topic is currently insufficiently studied. The object of the research is the texts of popular science articles, and the subject is the operations that were used in the translation of these texts. The research material was the texts of four articles taken from the news sites BBC News UK and BBC News Ukraine. The translation of these texts was carried out using the strategy of communicatively equivalent translation. Tactics were implemented in it: the transfer of relevant information, linguistic and cultural adaptation of the text, reproduction of the stylistic characteristics of the text and stylistic adaptation of the text and the correct design of information. During the translation of the English-language texts of the popular scientific sub-style into the Ukrainian language translation operations such as search for interlingual and translation correspondences, generalization, concretization and permutation in the sentence are most often used.
