1. What is the main problem in translating neologisms
The English language is very rich in neologisms – the word have been created recently and perhaps will not live in the language for a long time. It is very seldom that we find equivalent for the translation of neologisms and for the most part we use descriptive translation and word-for-word translation /people of good will, top level talks.

3. What can you say about the role of antonymous translation?

Antonymous translation is a complex lexico – grammatical substitution of a positive construction for the negative one / and vice – versa/, which is coupled with a replacement of a word by its antonym when translated / Keep off grass – Майса устидан юрманг – Не ходите по траве./

greater degree of categoricalness in the speech of Russians, which often leads to
antonymous translations**: I don’t want people playing the piano at all hours of the day and night. – Я против того, чтобы на пианино играли день и ночь.
John didn’t disobey his father. – Джон послушался своего отца.
“Will you be in for supper?” asked her mother, sticking her head out from behind

– крикнула Сэлли.
