The Problems of the English-Russian Political Discourse Translation (the Case of Mass Media Texts)

Social and political situation takes an important position in the modern world playing a major role in the development of languages. Political discourse is a phenomenon of political communication that uses a certain system of professionally oriented characters and has its own sublanguage (vocabulary, phraseology and paremiology). In the present study, terms such as political discourse, political interview, news article and public speaking will be defined and applied in the practical part of the work. The main purpose of the study is to compare the genre features of media texts and analyze the lexical features in translation. We will provide translation of three types of texts related to different genres of political discourse, on the basis of which a detailed analysis of the peculiarities of their translation will be carried out. Our research consists of 2 parts: theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part, we will provide the necessary basis for the already conducted research. In the practical part, we will provide translation of three texts, conduct a detailed analysis of the techniques used in the translation of certain lexical units.
