The Issue of Translatability of Linguistic Units in Discourse at the Lessons of General Theory of Translation

The author focuses on a key issue of the theory and practice of translation, that of translatability of speech linguistic units, as well as on its teaching methodology within the General Theory of Translation syllabus taught at the Faculty of Philology. The analysis is carried out on the basis of the concept of equivalent translation underlying the communicative equality of the source and target texts.
