Technical text is a text whose purpose is to transfer a specific knowledge about individual subjects (an apparatus, a system, a mechanism, a spare part, etc.)…”

The article considers the technical metaphoric term as a dynamic cognitive structure, which contains a fragment of the global technical picture. The author starts with a critical review of the existing approaches to the definition of a translation unit and suggests that this term should be considered as a dynamic unit of the text’s semantic structure. In this regard, the procedure is not limited to a simple extraction of a translation unit in the source text, but it leads to a complex linguistic analysis at the pre-translation stage. To extract the translation unit, the author suggests using a criterion of an unexpected collocation, which is why the metaphoric term is the subject of the study. Having justified the approach, the author presents the stages of the carried out linguistic analysis. Based on the results, the author formed fourteen thematic groups and described typical collocations of the structural elements. In the course of the analysis, the following functions of the metaphoric terms were singled out: 1) operational function, 2) shaping function, 3) intermediary function, 4) transfer function, 5) comprehension function, and 6) interpretation function. Such integrated approach to the analysis of the translation unit ensures adequate translation and minimizes critical translation errors.

Cross-cultural aspects of Russian and Latin American idioms

Idioms have aroused the interest of linguists around the world for over a century. From Logan Pearsall Smith (1925), Vinogradov (1946, 1947), Cacciari and Glucksberg (1991), and Fernando (1996), to other contemporary authors such as Kvetko (2009), Negro Alousque (2011), E. Piirainen (2015), C. Ce and S. Chornobay (2016), to mention but a few. Many of the studies of idioms carried out in the last years have analysed idioms from different perspectives and approaches. The present paper aims to contribute to the cross-linguistic analysis by identifying similarities and differences in idioms in Spanish and Russian languages with an active component. Material includes idioms from 19 Latin American countries as samples of the Spanish language as an attempt to bring the Latin American phraseology into this research field for the first time. The author concentrates on the semantic specifics of these idioms based on the hypothesis that they have some similarities regardless of how geographically distant the two regions are from each other, and that their differences lie only in cultural aspects.

Interpreter adaptation in hybrid ecology: the case of video-mediated commissioning of equipment

Video-mediated interpreting is a relatively new object of research, which requires integration of theoretical and methodological frameworks of translation studies, communication theory, media theory, and cognitive science. This paper examines the way an interpreter adapts to a hybrid environment, which merges communication in physical and virtual spaces. We describe the case of dialogue interpreting during the commissioning of equipment supervised by an instructor via video link. The study is based on transcripts as well as the interpreter’s retrospective commentary. The interpreter’s decision-making is examined through the lens of metacognition theory and monitoring processes. Among the key factors determining the complexity of this job, are the nature of dialogue interpreting in an industrial shop floor, and the limitations of video communication via a smartphone. In addition to the relaying and coordinating functions common to dialogue interpreting, in a hybrid ecology interpreter also monitors the status of the communication device. This kind of media-multitasking may result in additional cognitive monitoring, potentially leading to reduced attention span and affecting the interpreting quality. Additionally, the interpreter actively contextualizes the physical scenario for the remote participant, which leads to over-elaboration, excessive repetition, and addition of non-renditions. While many turn-taking devices are not available in video-mediated communication, the interpreter resorts to verbal turn-taking patterns and ultimately takes control of communication. In а hybrid environment, the logic of transition from a problematic situation to its solution becomes more unpredictable. The fragmented nature of interaction challenges the identification of relevant meanings and the process of probabilistic prediction.
