To successfully master the discipline, the student must know Portuguese at a level not lower than B1, basic linguistic and translation concepts, the basics of semantics, nomination and motivation of lexical units; be able to translate from Portuguese into the native language using reference lexicographical sources, including electronic and Internet sources, as well as non-specialized Internet resources of publicly available sources; have basic skills in searching the Internet for the necessary reference resources, information about a particular concept, as well as possess skills of using electronic dictionaries.
Course content
he aim of the discipline is to provide knowledge about the characteristics and properties of terms and terminology systems, types of formal and semantic relations between terms, and to develop the ability to search for translations of terms and their characteristics in specialized sources. The correct approach to translating a term requires understanding of its properties and characteristics, and the ability to extract relevant data from reference and non-specialized sources. Students learn how to search for a precedent translation of a term, as well as techniques of translating neologisms, creating terminology entries based on the analysis of semantic and formal characteristics of terms, systemic relationships between them, assess the priority of sources and, based on this data, propose the best translation. Lectures are delivered in Spanish; classes are conducted in Spanish, with Ukrainian used for translation if necessary. The course ends with a credit.
