Аннотация

Глобальное распространение английского языка привело к фундаментальным из­менениям в письменном и устном переводе. Ранее перевод представлял собой двуязыч­ное посредничество между носителями английского языка и реципиентами текста пе­ревода. В настоящее время исходящее сообщение чаще создается неносителями анг­лий­ского языка. Этот факт способен перевернуть традиционное представление о процес­се устного и письменного перевода. Цель данной статьи состоит в анализе отличий исходного текста, созданного неносителями английского языка в условиях его глобаль­ного распространения, от исходного текста, созданного носителями языка, с которым ранее имели дело письменные и устные переводчики. В статье оцениваются послед­ствия и степень изменения ситуации межъязыкового посредничества между неноси­телями и реципиентами текста перевода по сравнению с традиционной ситуацией, когда перевод осуществлялся между носителями и реципиентами, говорящими на сво­их родных языках. Кульминацией работы является размышление о том, есть ли осно­вания говорить о смене парадигмы в исследованиях письменного и устного перевода.

Abstract

The global spread of English as a lingua franca (ELF) has caused a fundamental change to translation and interpreting (T&I). Translation and interpreting used to revolve around bilingual mediation between native speakers and native listeners. In interpreting, in particu­lar, more often than not, source speeches are now produced by non-native English speakers. The impact of this development has the potential to uproot our traditional understanding of T&I. This article sets out to describe how ELF or, more specifically, input produced by non-native English speakers under ELF conditions, differs from the native-speaker input, transla­tors and interpreters used to be dealing with. It gauges the consequences of these differences for translation and interpreting and examines how fundamental a change it is navigating between non-native speakers and listeners, as compared to the traditional situation of mediat­ing between speakers and listeners operating in their respective first languages. This culmi­nates in an exploration of the question as to whether there is reason to speak of a paradigm shift in translation and interpreting studies.
