The paper deals with a comprehensive study of translation strategies in English-Ukrainian translation of President Joseph R. Biden’s inaugural address. Political discourse is characterized by its unique features triggering a considerable interest in applied linguistics and translation studies. In brief, political speeches are often delivered by politicians to communicate their messages to the public. They mainly operate as a tool of persuasion, imposing political ideas, beliefs, and practices crucial in constituting a political community. The paper deals with a comprehensive study of translation strategies in English- -Ukrainian translation of President Joseph R. Biden’s inaugural address. Political discourse is characterized by its unique features triggering a considerable interest in applied linguistics and translation studies. In brief, political speeches are often delivered by politicians to communicate their messages to the public. They mainly operate as a tool of persuasion, imposing political ideas, beliefs, and practices crucial in constituting a political community. Translating political speeches can posit serious problems due to their unique features as a special text genre. Appropriate translation methods are needed to ensure a higher quality political speech translation and its adequacy. It has been decided that the best methods for the proposed study were discourse and comparative analyses combined with generalization. The translation techniques employed in the translation of Joseph R. Biden’s inaugural address into Ukrainian include lexical, grammatical, and complex transformations. A comparative analysis of the linguistic means used by both American president and the translator has demonstrated that the source text submitted for translation undergoes interlingual changes to create the text with the same communicative intent in the target language. Syntactic translation transformations are the most dominant ones, followed by lexical and grammatical. Such changes in the translation of the American President’s inaugural address are necessary for better conforming to existing cultural norms and soothing out social, religious, and political differences in English and Ukrainian cultures. Thus, translation is not simply an act of faithful reproduction but, rather, deliberate and conscious creation of secret linguistic and pragmatic codes.

The paper presents the key concepts in Translation Studies such as untranslatability and equivalence. The author seeks to gain an insight into the theories relevant for translation and their development especially in the field of literary translation. To translate means to understand and explore the unique and extraordinary world created by the author in order to be able to reproduce it in another language and to evoke similar reactions, emotions and reflections.

Gli aspetti principali che riguardano la traduzione e che infatti sono i concetti chiave nella discussione sull’attivita di tradurre come l’equivalenza e l’intraducibilita vengono presentati nell’articolo, che cerca di spiegare e chiarire gli studi sulla traduzione e il loro sviluppo riguardando particolarmente la traduzione letteraria. Tradurre i testi letterari significa approfondire, comprendere ed esplorare il mondo unico ed eccezionale dell’autore, cioe entrare in questo mondo e poi creare un duplicato in un’altra lingua che potrebbe evocare simili reazioni, emozioni e riflessioni.

In dem vorliegenden Beitrag wird auf grundlegende Faktoren verwiesen, denen man bei der Über­tragung der deutschen Komposita ins Polnische Rechnung tragen sollte. Zu diesen Faktoren ge­hören: Binarität der Komposita, Reihenfolge der Kompositaglieder und Nichtvertauschbarkeit der Glieder ohne Bedeutungsverlust, unbegrenzte Ausbaumöglichkeiten der deutschen Komposita, Fugenelemente als Verbindungskitt zwischen zwei Konstituenten einer Zusammensetzung, Para­phrasierung als Mittel zur Ermittlung der semantischen Beziehungen in einem Kompositum und Ad-hoc-Bildungen als Besonderheit der deutschen Wortbildung. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass das Deutsche den Beinamen ,Substantivspracheʽ hat, wird hier die Aufmerksamkeit vorzugsweise den substantivischen kompositionellen Formationen geschenkt. Das untersuchte Korpus konzentriert sich auf die Bandwurmkomposita – darunter pressetypische, Aufmerksamkeit erregende Lexeme (sog. Eyecatcher) sowie Ad-hoc-Bildungen, die für den Übersetzer häufig als eine harte Nuss zu knacken sind. Bemerkenswert ist die Tatsache, dass die in einem deutschen Kompositum impli­zierten semantischen Relationen durch ein komplexes Vorgehen im Übertragungsprozess, durch die Vereinigung von interkulturellen, sprachlichen und translatorischen Kompetenzen effektiv in die Zielsprache übertragen werden können.

Translation issues deserve a lot of attention, particularly if they are related to linguistic phenom­ena characteristic of the given language. Translating multiple complex compounds from German into Polish constitutes just such a phenomenon and it is interesting precisely from the point of view of translation. This article is devoted to peculiar characteristics of German compounds which should be taken into account in the process of translating them into the Polish language. Several important factors have been discussed which must not be overlooked during a semantic analysis of multisegmental compounds if errors in translation are to be avoided. These are: the binarity of compounds, the sequence of individual segments in the compound and the semantic consequences of their fixed position, the potential for free expansion of German compounds, the occurrence of joint (interfix), paraphrasing as a way of establishing the semantic relations between the segments of the given compound and occasional constructions as a peculiarity of German word formation. Because a characteristic feature of German word formation is the tendency to form nominal com­pounds, the corpus created for the purpose of the present article and subjected to analysis consists of nominal compounds. The analysis I have conducted makes it possible to draw the conclusion that German multisegmental compounds are translated into the Polish language mostly using com­plex syntactic structures, the so-called phrases, rather than structurally equivalent constructions. Phrases, which function as equivalents of German compounds, are in most cases exceptionally well developed, often additionally characterized by an adjectival or genitival modifier, or a subordinate clause, which, in comparison with the one-word German compounds does not seem economical as regards the quantity of words which are connected syntactically. Providing an adequate equivalent in the target language is a considerable and ambitious challenge. Apart from having linguistic skills and necessary knowledge, it requires from the translator analytical and synthetic skills as well as the ability to approach the given problem critically and creatively. Only a compilation of those skills and abilities guarantees a correct/professional translation as an end product devoid of ambiguities.
