Ferens N.O. Exegesis in Translation of Literature

Abstract. The term ‘hermeneutics’ has growingly been used in translation studies both to mean a practical tool of understanding the original author and a number of philosophic approaches to interpretation. This often results in confusion, especially in post-Soviet translation studies that have only recently incorporated the cultural turn paradigms and are still dominated by the linguistic paradigm. The article suggests adopting a synonymic term ‘exegesis’ to  mean the initial understanding of the original text by translator and argues that this seemingly medieval notion can be revived in the context of modern translator’s ethos.  

Keywords: Schleiermacherian hermeneutics, ontological hermeneutics, exegesis, translation, interpretation

Lemish N.Y. Genesis and Development of Causal Dominant Semantic Meanings in Dutch

Abstract. The paper deals with the genesis and development of causal dominants semantic meanings in the Dutch language as one of the  languages  of  our  cross-linguistic  research.  As  we  differentiate  between  causal  blocks  within  the  causal  complex,  the  causal dominants are considered to be their components, i.e. cause, effect, reason, conclusion, condition, result, concession, consequence, means,  and  purpose  –  10  on  the  whole.  It  is  anticipated  that  defining  of  integral  semes  and  lexico-semantic  variants  of  those dominants can help to prove the fact that the discussed units can be put together in one causal complex for studying. Moreover the found evidence could in our opinion facilitate the clarifying of the closeness of causal thinking and causal structures in the universal language as of the human being, and at the same time, their diversification in studied languages in the near future. 

Keywords: a causal complex, causal blocks, causal dominants, integral semes, lexico-semantic variants, genesis
