Analysis of the translation of constructions such as "If the disease is not treated" into English

The subject is the strategies of text reduction in the Russian-English translation of the construction of the type "If the disease is not treated". The purpose of the work is to identify relevant strategies for text reduction in the Russian-English translation of this structure. At the first stage, the analysis of textbooks on translation and textbooks of English grammar was carried out, after which an empirical base of research was created – examples of the translation of this syntactic model from the NCRE were selected. At the next stage of the study, the translation of examples from a parallel subcorpus is analyzed, as a result of which the main strategies of the Russian-English translation of the structure are identified. Then the search for examples of the studied design was carried out on the website of the President of Russia. At the last stage, more than 30 hours of official speeches of Russian politicians and their interpretation into English were analyzed. The study showed that this structure is not considered in translation textbooks, Google Translate does not recognize the "If the disease is not treated" construction in most cases, and that translators almost do not use the "If untreated" model in translation. The novelty of the study is that the Russian-English translation of structures of the type If the disease is not treated is considered in the work for the first time. The results of the study make it possible to study translation strategies and identified text reduction strategies when translating this syntactic model. The results of the research work can be used in writing term papers, final qualifying papers and master's theses on related problems.
