Lecture 3 Lexical-semantic problems of translation

2.2.The specification of synonymous order which pertain the selection of words. However, it is necessary to allow for the nature of the semantic signs which an order of synonyms is based on consequently, it is advisable to account for the concurring meanings of members in synonymic order, the difference in lexical and stylistic meanings, and the ability of individual components of orders of synonyms to combine: e.g. dismiss, discharge(bookish) – ишдан бушатмок (адабий тилда) sack, fire (colloquial) – хайдамок (огзаки нуткда) the edge of the table – the rim of the moon; столнинг чети, кирраси - ойнинг кирраси, чети Most words in a language are polysemantic, and the same of word-meaning in one language does not concur the same system in another language completely. That's why the selection of a word in the process of translating is determined by the context.

There is a distinct group of words which constitute a special difficulty for the translator, and there are some words which are similar in spelling and / or pronunciation, often with a common origin, but have different meanings in different languages- the so-called pseudo-international words. (false friends of a translator).

• International words are mostly words of Greek, Latin and French origin which have a more or less similar phonetic form in many languages. They express not only scientific, social and political notions but everyday things and notions as well: electronics – электроника; dynamic – динамичный; calorie – калория; elegant – элегантный. These words have become an indispensable part of the vocabulary of different languages.
