Abstract

The work is devoted to the analysis of the features of the dubbing process of English films into Ukrainian; special attention is paid to peculiarities of lexical semantics in the translated variants. The work is of experimental character: the total time of the researched material is 3000 minutes. Among the established factors of pragmatic adaptation in the process of the film translation the most important one is the capability to reflect socio-cultural realities of the English-speaking community in the Ukrainian language. The adequacy and quality of the translation must produce the same communicative effect on the Ukrainian-speaking audience, which is aimed at the English-speaking audience. An adequate translation preserves speech behavior, political and economic realities. Special attention is paid to the use of explication and implication techniques in the translation practice of dubbing. Both types of translation techniques are used in English-Ukrainian patterns. The explication of a word’s semantics can be structural or contextual. By structural explication we mean the introduction of additional word forms, caused by grammatical and sociocultural factors. In Ukrainian translations, there is a tendency for the widespread use of explication, in order to adequately reflect the meaning of communicative units and preserve a pragmatic impact on the audience. The implication is rarely used in Ukrainian film-texts; it is caused not only by the need to synchronize the lipsing of the original and the translation, but also by the absence of certain cognitive phenomena in the national culture consciousness of the Ukrainians. The undoubted advantage in the palette of the Ukrainian dubbing of communicative means is associated with the traditions of the Ukrainian dubbing school, which is characterized by the greatest flexibility in observing national stereotypes, the maximum domestication of other peoples’ realities. The Ukrainian actor, when portraying a foreigner, imposes serious restrictions on his own manner of reproducing the Ukrainian communicative system.
