According to S.B. Tyulenev, unit of translation should be termed translateme (транслатема) and defined a combination of a linguistic unit of the source language expressing a cert contextual meaning and the minimal corresponding linguistic unit of the tar language with the same meaning.
I) with reference to a SLT, 2) with reference to a TLT, 3) with reference to both a SLT and a TLT.
Vinay – UOT is a u. of sense.
1)Komis – UOT is a min lang u. in SLT which is chosen as an independ object of T. process. 2)supporters of machine translation – a combination of certain lexemes and gramemes which correspond to a certain lex and gram cat. in TLT.(Revzin).
3) Barkhudarov – a min lang u. in SLT which taken as a whole has a certain correspond. in TLT, but the constituent parts of which taken separately don’t have a correspondence with a similar meaning in TL.
Main features: 1) UOT – sh.alws be found in SLT, not TLT.
2) established from T-rs point of view and don’t correlate with the existing lang levels.3) min unit in a sense that it cant be segmented further without determent to its sense.


(8) 1. Resker, Komis – it’s cant be a word. Can be a sentence or a clause, paragraph, text; 2. Komis – Sentence is chosen more often as it provides microcontext necessary for T. He also admits lower units an introduces an hierarchy; 3. Reiss – level of text as it helps to overcome contextual ambiguity and ambivalence of words and sents. That arise from differences in cultures.
