translation; translation mistake; emotion; emotional notion; corpus-based methodologyAbstract
Regarding the difficulties a translator confronts with while rendering emotions, one should mention at least three cases when a translator needs to reinforce the correctness of the choice as to a counterpart (an equivalent word) of the target language by means of scientifically valid conclusions: 1) if there are doubts as to accuracy of the lexical counterpart in the target language that denotes a certain emotional notion fixed by bilingual dictionaries; 2) if lexical counterparts are absent in dictionaries at all; 3) if not only dictionary counterparts are absent but also an emotional notion itself is irrelevant (not typical) for the target linguoculture.
