Transformations of syntactic structures as a means to achieve adequacy in translation from English into Ukrainian (based on the interrogative sentences of the novel “Ivanhoe” by Sir Walter Scott)

Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of the use of transformations of syntactic structures as a means to achieve adequacy in translation from English into Ukrainian. Special attention is paid to such transformations as replacement of a simple sentence with a complex one; replacement of a complex sentence with a simple one; combination of sentences; division of sentences. The main reason for the use of transformations of syntactic structures is the discrepancy between the systems and norms of the source and target languages.
