Strategies and Tactics of Translating Gastronomic Guides: Communicative and Functional Approach (by the Material of the Russian and English Languages)

Abstract

The article aims at identifying translation strategies and tactics used in translating tourist texts, in particular, gastronomic guides. The paper considers examples of text translations of this type with subsequent analysis to confirm the relevance of using the strategy of communicative-equivalent translation when translating texts of gastronomic guides from Russian into English and from English into Russian. The scientific novelty lies in identification of translation strategies applicable to the translation of such texts in order to confirm applicability of the above strategy (by the material of the Russian and English languages). As a result, it has been determined that it is the strategy of communicative-equivalent translation that is applicable when translating texts of this type due to the need to create a functional analogue of the original text.
