RUSSIAN AS THE LANGUAGE OF DOCUMENTARY TRANSLATION IN THE TERRITORY OF THE GREATER ALTAI

Abstract

The paper considers the specificities of Russian as a language of academic documentary translation in the territory of the Greater Altai. The genres of official scientific documentary translation researched in the paper are an official academic review to a scientific article, an information letter about an academic university contest, and an application for a federal grant for fundamental scientific research. The paper suggests the Russian language to be the language of cross-cultural communication and translation that traditionally existed in the territory of the Greater Altai. The paper also investigates the key translation transformations of the terminology and the official academic documentary clichés and set expressions while translating them from Russian into English.
