Перевод как вид коммуникации

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the peculiarities of the translation process as a certain and specific type of communication. Types and problems of linguistic competence in the communication process connected with the processes of coding and decoding of the communicated information are analyzed and investigated. Possible interferenceare identified, being objective and subjective, influencing both the communication process as a whole and the translation in particular. Nomination of “translation” as a result, process and communication act is determined. Three models of the communication process – as linear, transactional and interactive – are considered to find the one that best corresponds to translation as a type of communication. The practical value of this investigation lies in an attempt to describe and analyze the translation from the viewpoint of the communication process in order to reveal the regularities associating with the translation process. Findings obtained when studying translation as a communication act may expand the comprehension of what translation is, paying attention to its constituents, which will allow both to improve the translation as a result, to minimize possible interference in the translation process, and will as well attract attention to the complex of “secondary” constituents of the future translator’s personality when learning.
