FORMATION OF TRANSLATION COMPETENCE OF FUTURE PHILOLOGISTS-POLONISTS IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSLATING TEXTS OF DIFFERENT FUNCTIONAL STYLES

Abstract

The article theoretically substantiates the essence and specific features of the formation of translation competence of future philologists specializing in Polish studies in the process of professional training. The relevance of the research is determined by the necessity to train specialists capable of effective intercultural communication under conditions of closely related bilingualism. It has been established that the translation competence of a Polish philologist is a complex integrated construct combining linguistic, discursive, sociocultural, strategic, and technological components. A comparative analysis of Ukrainian (I. Horoshkin, O. Kochubey, O. Moskaliuk, D. Muzhel, M. Shtohryn) and Polish (K. Hejwowski, M. Piotrowska, J. Żmudzki) scholarly approaches has been carried out, which made it possible to interpret the phenomenon under study as a multi-level system aimed at achieving functional equivalence in translation. Particular attention is paid to the factor of interlingual interference, overcoming which requires the development of students’ “linguistic vigilance”. The role of functional-stylistic differentiation of texts as a systemic mechanism for the formation of translation skills is substantiated. The specific features of working with official-business, scientific, publicistic, and literary styles are revealed, each of which actualizes certain components of translation competence. The author proposes and details a four-stage methodological model of text work, including pre-translation analysis, strategy selection, direct translation implementation, and the stage of reflective editing.It has been proven that the systematic use of a set of special exercises (contrastive, transformational, and case-based methods) contributes to the development of professional flexibility of future philologists. The materials of the article have practical significance for improving training programs for translators in the field of Polish studies and the methodology of teaching translation disciplines, and may also be used in the development of educational and methodological materials and in the training of philological specialists.
