“…Apart from papers explicitly discussing the process of making decisions in translation, there are many recent researches on those aspects of translation that form the foundation of decision making. They are cognitive (Braun, 2016;Kushnina, Krivoruchko, Ushakova, 2016;Remkhe, Nefyodova, 2016), cultural (Buden et al, 2009), creative (Massardier-Kenney, 2010) and even interdisciplinary (Dizdar, 2009) aspects. All these aspects show both the nature of problems that a translator has to solve and the character of choices they can make.…”

The aim of the article is to show the role of translator's cultural awareness, ability to be guided by communicative factors and to assess relevance of information in decision-making. The author's analysis of possible choices and decisions is based on understanding translation as a creative process of interlanguage and intercultural mediation presupposing the translator's ability to asses and take into account a wide range of parameters that cannot be formalized, such as background information, the speaker's intention and relevance of information. The research has shown that the main difference between a human translator and a translating machine, as well as the main advantage of the former over the latter is the ability of a person to make nonprogrammable decisions. Unlike a machine, a person can assess relevance of information; relate words to their context and not only to the subject domain; reveal implications and allusions; identify culturally sensitive elements of the text. The success of contextually and culturally correct decisions depends on the translator's professional mentality, the development of which must become the number one priority in training translation students.Citation: Petrova, O.V.

The article is based on the idea that, in a digital communicative environment, there are changes in the structure of the human-translator activity and functions, some of which are transferred to the machine translation. The aim of the research is to find ways of translation and meta-translation activities integration in the cognitive translation space and speech space of the translation discourse. This requires the coordination of the translation discourse with existing digital platforms, development of new language technologies oriented towards a high-quality product that ensures successful interlingual, intercultural, and interpersonal interaction. The methodological basis of the research is the concept of translation space which is based on a synergetic approach to translation involving harmonization of the source and target meanings, i.e., their adequacy and equivalence. The theoretical basis of the study is the notion of an epistemic situation as an extralinguistic basis of a text with ontological, methodological, and axiological components. The ontology of translation is represented by the idea of cognitivism, methodology — by synergy, axiology — by harmony. The result of the study is the correlation between the subject-centric and text-centric functions of a human-translator developing their reflexive, empathic, and other cognitive abilities which cannot be delegated to machine translation. There is transposition process of translator linguistic persona functions when the translator retains all subject-centric functions, whereas part of text-centric functions are performed by translation software. At this time, the social and cultural responsibility of the translator increases, since translation is assigned by a human and performed for a human.

Статья посвящена оценке качества перевода художественного текста при передаче юмористического эффекта, одной из самых сложных проблем современного переводоведения в силу творческой составляющей и субъективной природы изучаемого объекта. Целью работы являются описание и обоснование элементов системы оценки, в качестве значимых элементов которой автор выделяет такие макропараметры, как функционал, идиостиль, язык и реципиент. Новизна исследования заключается в отходе от исключительно лингвистического подхода, описании ряда существенных параметров, а также опоре на соотносительность ряда элементов в системе "текст перевода / реципиент". Полученные результаты показали эффективность применения описанной системы и ее объяснительную силу в рамках отрывков с юмористическим эффектом.
