Newly coined words in translation: challenges and ways of rendering

Abstract

This research focuses on lexical errors made by the students majoring in translation and international relations in translation of non-equivalent words, namely neologisms. This study aims to gain a better understanding of the strategies that translators use when dealing with the problems and challenges that the linguistic phenomenon called lexical gaps present. Comprehension of such specific cultural units is conditioned by peculiarities of language and culture in which the units arose. When translating neologisms, in the absence of an equivalent in Ukrainian language, one can refer to four main translation techniques: transcription, transliteration, tracing, and descriptive translation
