Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the tactical-operational corpus used to reproduce the content of the academic discourse from English and Chinese into Ukrainian. The notions “translation strategy”, “translation tactics”, “translation operation” are specified. The translation strategy in the context of translating academic correspondence is associated with the program aimed at the implementation of translation activities, which is formed on the basis of the translator’s interest in the quality of translation in terms of formal and informal-cooperative (non-conflict) relations between individuals and / or legal entities (to start, maintain and finish mutual activities according to the established educational and / or economic standards) as well as provides for a constructive exchange of information (to receive, provide, request, process the necessary information). The translation tactics in the designated format are identified as an integrated set of translation operations performed within the implementation of the chosen translation strategy; the translation operation is understood as a translator’s specific action undertaken while reproducing the authentic text in the target language. The tactical and strategic construct used when reproducing the content of English and Chinese academic correspondence in the Ukrainian language has been characterized. The strategy of communicatively equivalent translation is determined as the leading one in terms of the implementation of the communicative intention of the author (the person who creates the original text) in the target language. The correspondence of the applied translation tactics when dealing with the designated strategy has been analysed, these tactics being highlighted: the tactics of cognitive information transfer, the tactics of linguocultural text adaptation, the tactics of stylistic text adaptation, the tactics of correct information framework and the tactics of reproducing formal structural characteristics of the text. The author specifies the criteria for assessing the adequacy of the translation of the discourse under study, which guarantee a correct understanding of the sender’s goal in the target language (adequate (good translation); satisfactory translation; inadequate (bad translation)).
