Teaching the Translation of Political Discourse Texts

Abstract

High-quality translation of political discourse texts depends on the level of the language proficiency and professional skills of an interpreter. An important component for a successful translation is the availability of the background knowledge and the related political terminology in the mind of the interpreter. Therefore, without decreasing the role of the first two components in the professional training of an interpreter, we will focus on the issue of broadening the background and terminological knowledge in the political sphere [1, 155].
