The article highlights the ways of translation of the German composites in the agricultural discourse.
It was stated that difficulties of text translation on the agrarian subjects are often associated with the search of relevant terms that are used in the agricultural discourse.
There are particular difficulties while translating German composites, which are very intensive in its meaning and at the same time the semantic compression is typical of them.
It is noted that there are (two or more) derivative stems for composite terms.
It is higjlighted that structurally the German composites are divided into copulative and determinative.
It is emphasized that the use of composite structures are typical of scientific and technical texts, due to the accumulation of time and facts in them otherwise the information may be provided by only more advanced syntactical constructions.
Some attention is drawn to the fact that the information is the basis of scientific and technical translation, therefore the interpreter’s goal is to convey the information of the German original text into the target Ukrainian language without meaningful drawbacks.
The desire to convey the original information encourages the search for ways to transfer such composite terms, which would satisfy the requirements for the adequacy of the translation.
The ways of translation of composites by means of the Ukrainian language in terms of their structure are studied.
Frequently used models of transaltion for composites are identified.
The article deals with ways of translation of the German composites in the agricultural discourse. Composites studied The ways to translate German composites into Ukrainian, depending on their structure, is shown. The most common methods of translation of composites are determined depending on the frequency.
