WAYS TO ACHIEVE EQUIVALENCE IN TRANSLATING A POLITICAL INTERVIEW

Abstract

The article identifies ways to achieve equivalence in the translation of a political interview. The article is based on the classification of translation transformations developed by V.N. Komissarov. The authors clarify that the ways to achieve equivalence at the sentence level is to take it as a unit of analysis. In the course of the study, it is determined that the formality of the conversation, the informational and diplomatic saturation of the original text presupposes the translator to achieve equivalence at the syntactic and lexical levels. Among the main methods of translation, the authors note transcription, transliteration, and calculus of political terms. The translator also uses the neutralization of figurative phrases to comply with the stylistic norms of the journalistic genre of interviews in Russian. Syntactic translation techniques include combining sentences, changing the type of sentence, and grammatical substitutions.
