THE CHOICE OF THE DOMINANT IDEA OF A TRANSLATION, AS A MANIFESTATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INTERPRETER

Abstract: 
The problem and the goal. The special psychological characteristics of an individual have already been studying for a long time. Their influence on the development of language abilities (LA) in general, and on the ability to learn foreign languages in particular, has been studied quite well. LA themselves, are also studied in detail. LA variability is shown, their components are defined and their typology is developed. However, the possibility of influence of interpreter’s psychological characteristics, like belonging to Special-Human Types of Higher Nervous Activity (SHT HNA) i.e. «artistic», «thinking» and «medium» identified by I.P. Pavlov, on the results of a translation haven’t been studied enough yet. The goal of the article is to show the necessity of taking into account these interpreter’s individual psychological characteristics when translating from one language into another (from English into Russian and vice versa ), and to find out a possibility of their influence on the choice of the dominant idea of the translation. An empirical study presenting research of 170 testees was conducted. Some authorial linguistic experimental techniques which reveal individual specificity of interpreter’s activity («Authorial Analysis of the Associative Experiment» and «Character Description») along with already tested methods for diagnosing SHT HNA (M.N.Borisova method) were used in this study. The results of the study. It is proved that individuals belonging to different HNA types use fundamentally different ways of working with foreign textual material. «Dominant ideas of translation» (communicative and culture or linguistic) characterizing the distinctive and psychological specificity of types of translation are highlighted.
