Journal Title: Scientific journal «International Journal of Philology» - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 281
Abstract
Translators and interpreters’ ability to rapidly respond to the processes related to dynamic development of economy, science, and engineering as well as to emergence of new knowledge trends and people’s activity spheres is a necessary prerequisite for their successful professional activities. Introduction. Acquiring professional knowledge in science and engineering belongs to paramount competences in training translators and interpreters and, thus, is a topical issue of discussions and scientific research of scholars and educators of both Ukraine and other countries. The article presents the analysis and comparative characteristics of training system for translators/interpreters in different countries and, therefore, the level of Ukrainian experts’ competitiveness in the global job market of professional translation is determined as well as ways of increasing the level of training students by acquiring skills and abilities to gain professional knowledge in new spheres of science and engineering are suggested. Purpose. The purpose of the research is to identify new forms of knowledge acquisition of translators/interpreters involved in translating/interpreting professional literature or to improve the process of implementing already known sources of information, namely, defining and terminological dictionaries, thesauri, and professional texts. Methods. To solve the tasks, methods of analysis, comparison, generalization and description were used. The research was conducted based on Ukrainian, German and English thesauri, defining and terminological dictionaries. Results. Using the example of the most widely implemented and generally understood concepts and terms in mining, informative completeness of the sources mentioned above with regard to translation/interpretation was analysed and possible ways of their improvement were defined. Originality. The analysis of terms by using different sources of information both showed an opportunity to obtain additional knowledge in engineering and developed a base for creating their own thesauri, which can differ fundamentally from available ones and be adjusted to educational process or meet the requirements of a certain translator/interpreter. Conclusion. The conducted research gives evidence of implementing the sources of information mentioned above as an efficient way to acquire professional knowledge by a translator/interpreter while studying a new sphere of science and engineering. At the same time, use and comparison of different sources, namely, Ukrainian, German, English and Russian ones, are of importance. In the process of comparison, not only useful information is obtained, but inaccuracies and drawbacks of certain sources are defined. Thus, the students do not only learn to use dictionaries, but conduct their own analyses and acquire new language and professional knowledge.
