How does V.N. Komissarov understand the term "Equivalence"?
the identity between the content of the original and the translation
the correspondence of the target text to the source text
reader's or readership's reception of the translation
the process of using semantic information to aid in the translation of data in one representation or data model to another
Which three elements are included in the scope of the Equivalence?
adequacy, the communication situation, the way of describing the situation
semasiology, the communicative goal, semantics
the communicative goal, the target text, pragmatics
the communicative situation, the communicative goal, the way of describing the situation

"Theory of Translation (Lingustic Aspects)"
"Theoretical Translation"
How many levels of Equivalence did Komissarov differentiate?
4
1
3
5

True
False
What does the Equivalence of the first type preserve?
the communicative situation
the way of describing the situation
the communicative goal
syntactic variation
Choose one feature that does NOT relate the equivalence of the first type?
inability to link the structure of the original and the translation with the relations of syntactic variation
text incompatibility of the syntactic organization
inability to link the vocabulary of the original and the translation with the relations of semantic paraphrasing
the least commonality of the content of the original and the translation
vivid presence of real, direct logical connections between the two texts
Which two features correspond to the equivalence of the second type?
semantic variation
the purpose of communication
the same non-linguistic situation
the way this situation is described
Choose the feature which is NOT used in the description of the second type of equivalence.
preservation in the translation of an indication of the same situation, which proves the existence of direct logical connections between two messages
compatibility of the syntactic organization
inability to link the vocabulary of two texts with semantic paraphrasing
identification of the same situation in the original and translation when changing the way it is described
Choose the wrong feature of the equivalence of the third type.
semantic commonality of the original and the translation includes the maximum closeness of the meanings of the correlated lexical units
the main way to describe the situation in the third type of equivalence is semantic paraphrasing
broad presence of parallelism of the syntactic structure
preservation in the translation of the purpose of communication and identification of the same situation as in the original
preservation in the translation of the general concepts with which the description of the situation in the original is carried out
Select the wrong feature of the fourth type of equivalence.
the least commonality of the content of the original and the translation
significant, though incomplete, parallelism of lexical composition
preservation in the translation of the purpose of communication, the indication of the situation, and the way it is described
it conveys information why it is said, what is said, and how it is said
use in translation of syntactic structures similar to the structures of the original or the syntactic transformation relations associated with them (syntactic variation)
