The system-based nature of translation as a synergetic process

Abstract

The article deals with the study and analysis of the concept of "synergetics" and the possibility of using a synergistic approach in the translation process study. The main characteristics of the synergistic approach and the translation process are described in terms of synergetics.

Translation process is a complex system of interlanguage transformations, like any other system, it is capable of fluctuation and inference that, however, keeps conceptual and semantic integrity.

Synergetic approach enables exploring different ways of  possible equivalents in the process of translation. Within the synergistic terminology a unique attractor in translation  is a word and its possible variations in translation. In dissipative systems such as translation, the points of intersection provide multiple options, so a good choice of an equivalent depends on various fluctuations in the translation process.

Every kind of translation contains a translation space, in which both symmetrical and asymmetrical elements can be distinguished. The analyzed translations showed that in the bifurcation points we may observe various options of choosing suitable Ukrainian variants, which create a particular perception of each translation. When translating, translators seek adequate variants, but each of them acts in a different way in the points of bifurcation. In the fluctuations zones, interpreters intuitively pick the most successful, in their opinion equivalents. Ultimately  adequate harmonious interpretation is obtained.
