The correct translation of the content of a speech segment requires good knowledge of vocabulary, and the capability to recognize the stylistic features of a foreign language in communication, and the techniques used to translate them into the native language. Translation of metaphors, metonymy, comparisons is of particular difficulty for the translator, however, it is the ability to use various techniques in translation that helps the translator to convey the meaning of the statement to the listener adequately. The television interview is characterized as an independent journalistic genre, is a kind of television communication, a purposeful individual-social speech phenomenon, which consists of the organized interaction detween the speakers and finds its expression in a specific dialogically constructed form. The results of this study show that each translated stylistic unit is characterized by a set of transformations typical for it. In most cases, these transformations involve lexical and syntactic stylistic devices. At the level of vocabulary, the speech of a TV interviewer is characterized by a significant number of colloquialisms, colloquial cliches, phraseological units. At the level of syntax, the typical indicators of the conversational style of the TV nterviewer are parallel constructions, repeated requests, elliptical sentences, repetitions, unfinished phrases, and the absence of inversion in interrogative sentences. The information obtained as the result of convergence of stylistic devices as a set of components participating together with other linguistic units in the formation of expressiveness, emotiveness and evaluation is one of the important sources of the language pragmatic function.
