A Linguistic Image of the World in Translation: errors and mistakes

• Languages of publication: RU

Abstracts

EN

A lack of understanding of the basic categories related to the separation of extensional and intentional contexts can lead to errors and mistakes both in the case of native and non-native speakers. For that reason the interpreter should be exceptionally cautious while translating various texts deeply rooted in a different culture. Any language may turn into an image of misguided feelings due to an erratic perception of the world, undisclosed to the unaware user who is hampered by habits and routine. Explaining the difference between the simple and continuous tenses by using the sentence ‘He died’ and asking the questions: ‘What did he do?’ and ‘What was he doing?’ is obviously wrong because dying is a process beyond the control of the human will. The sentence ‘The scientists discovered a new gene’ is another example of an erratic use of language because the gene had already existed before the discovery was made. The article analyses two translations from Polish to Russian of the very same original text with the intention to determine their extensional and intentional accordance.
