QUALITY ASSURANCE IN SPECIALIZED TRANSLATION (SYNERGETIC ASPECTS)

Abstract

The paper presents a synergetic information technique of comparative translation analysis in specialized translation based on the synergetic information model. The synergetic comparative translation analysis was demonstrated on material of the German text fragment by Sigmund Freud, its control translation into Ukrainian and also on standard Ukrainian translation, published in a book. The research object builds the synergetic information technique of comparative translation analysis in specialized translation from German into Ukrainian. The subject of the study includes implementation peculiarities of the methodology by carrying out the synergetic comparative translation analysis. During the synergetic analysis the instable equilibrium relations between the source text and target text as well as translation mistakes in the intercultural specialized communication were investigated. The synergetic translation analysis allows to identify types and language levels of the translator’s information deficit, and beyond that information types related to translation mistakes on the corresponding levels in the self-organized translation system. The procedural stages of the analysis make it possible to determine the translation dominant of the source text, the causes for translation information deficits and their compensation strategies. The reconstruction of incorrect translation solutions in the target text makes a contribution to better understanding self-organized translation processes that correspond to the development phase of the synergetic translation system. The synergetic information technique of translation analysis helps to discover the synergetic mechanisms in translation, thus realizing quality assurance as editing, correction and objective evaluation of the source text. Beyond that the synergetic translation analysis algorithm proved successful in the minimizing the future translator’s mistakes in specialized texts translation.
