Abstract
This article considers translation as an important aspect of linguistics,
reveals its role in the transfer of meanings between languages, its impact on the
formation of intercultural communication, as well as the importance of
translation in the development of national literatures and scientific thought. It is
substantiated that translation is not only a linguistic activity, but also a complex
cognitive and cultural process that contributes to the deepening of
understanding of languages and cultures.
Key words:
translation, linguistics, intercultural communication, linguistic
picture of the world, translation studies, cognitive aspect.
Translation as a phenomenon of human activity plays an important role in
the history and development of languages. Throughout the centuries, translation
has mediated between cultures, facilitated the transfer of scientific knowledge,
literary experience and spiritual values. Translation occupies a special place in
linguistics because it reflects the complex processes of interrelationship of
language systems and conceptual structures. This article analyses the
significance of translation for linguistics, examines its functions, types and
influence on linguistic theory.
Translation is a process of transferring the content of a text from one
language to another, taking into account linguistic, cultural and pragmatic
peculiarities. According to A.V. Fedorov, translation is «the transfer of a text by
means of another language while preserving its semantic, stylistic and functional
content» [1]. In this context, translation fulfils cognitive, communicative, cultural
and cognitive functions.
Language is the main carrier of culture, and translation is a way of
interaction between different cultures. Y.N. Naida notes that translation is «the
transfer of meaning and spirit of the original» [2]. Translation allows not only to
transfer information, but also to preserve cultural specificity, thus strengthening
international ties.
From a linguistic point of view, translation is a complex process of
interpretation and recoding. Modern translation studies are based on such
disciplines as semantics, pragmatics, and cognitive linguistics. V.N. Komissarov's

research emphasises that translation requires analysis of both the linguistic
level (lexicon, grammar) and the speech level (context, intention) [3].
The cognitive approach to translation considers it as a process of
information processing in the translator's mind. According to T. Garvey, the
translator works not only with language, but also with mental structures,
forming a new interpretation of the text [4]. This includes conceptual
metaphors, frames, scenarios and other elements of the cognitive structure of
language.
Each language reflects a unique picture of the world. Translation allows
correlating different language pictures, thus enriching and deepening their
mutual understanding. G.V. Kolshansky emphasises that «translation is a
window into another linguistic and cultural reality» [5]. It is especially
important when translating texts saturated with national-cultural connotations.
Historically, translation has played an important role in the development of
literary languages. For example, the translation of the Bible into Slavic languages
(Cyril and Methodius) was the most important stage in the formation of the Old
Slavic language [6]. Translations contributed to the enrichment of vocabulary,
development of new genres and stylistic means.
There are many classifications of translation: by purpose (artistic, scientific,
technical), by method (literal, semantic, adaptive), etc. Modern theories of
translation (equivalence, scopos, functional adequacy) emphasise the purposes
and functions of translation in a particular communication situation [7, 8].
Recently, machine translation and automatic translation have been actively
developed. Despite technical progress, such systems are not yet capable of
conveying the full range of meanings and cultural nuances, which makes a
human translator indispensable. Research in this area shows that machine
translation is particularly vulnerable to polysemy, idioms and context [9, 10].
Thus, translation is an integral part of linguistic science, fulfilling many
functions and reflecting the complex processes of interaction between languages
and cultures. It contributes to the dissemination of knowledge, the development
of languages and the strengthening of intercultural dialogue. Translation
requires a deep knowledge not only of language systems, but also of the cultural
and cognitive context in which communication takes place. In the era of
globalisation, the importance of translation as a scientific and practical
discipline is only increasing.
