The discipline consists of two content parts. The first part, "The Place of Translation in the Literary Polysystem," forms an understanding of the principles of developing translation norms, the parameters of translation activity set by the culture of the target language, and the relationship between translation and cultural space. The second part, "Organization of Intra-textual Relations and Translatability," shows the principles of how narrow and broad contexts influence translation, the mechanism of decision-making on the choice of a particular translation strategy, and the ways of constructing the meaning of a text and their coordination with translation strategies.
