T. Borisova Numeronym as a modern type of abbreviation in modern English
Abstract. The article is dedicated to the Information Technologies shortenings used in electronic messages and mail in Modern English. The main accent is made on morphological description of the specific type of abbreviations – numeronyms – and their translation peculiarities. The main function of a numeronym in any written text is to heighten the informativeness and capacity of a message, and, simultaneously, shorten it and “hide” its meaning from readers who don’t belong to the specific community. In the process of translation of numeronyms into other languages the decipher method proved to be the most efficient. The necessity of explanatory glossary for decoding computer texts is also underlined.
Keywords: shortening, abbreviation, numeronym, Leet language, decipher, decoding

A. Gnatiuk, E. Koliada The Interrelation of Epistemic Distance with the Expression of Doubt in Discourse
Abstract. The article investigates the correlation between the level of epistemic distance and the degree of doubt expressed by discourse participants. The research is based on the main postulates of the mental space construction theory as well as broadens it. The article provides research results and illustrations on how the increase or decrease of epistemic distance by the interlocutor influences the degree of doubt he expresses. As the result of the research, the correlation between epistemic distance and the level of expressed doubt in discourse is determined, which unexpectedly doesn’t presuppose the growth of the doubt level synchronically with the growth of the dimension of epistemic distance.
Keywords: epistemic distance, doubt, mental spaces, space builders, elements, conditionals

L. V. Kovalchuk Reperspectivation as a Factor of Topic Recontextualization
Abstract. The article presents the study of perspective as a dynamic phenomenon and its function in topic recontextualization in the process of communication. Understanding context as a mentally construed subjective representation of the relevant properties of a communicative situation in episodic memory of its participants gives the opportunity to differentiate the speaker’s and the hearer’s con- text models which overlap in the process of communication. Topic as an object of the speaker’s thought can be appropriately identified by the hearer under condition of activating the relevant context model. Topic contextualization is marked by the perspective impact which is defined as a speaking stance or position according to which the topic is viewed and interpreted. The existence of various and often divergent perspectives of the interlocutors on the same topic produces its multiperspectivity. Special attention has been focused on the cases of perspective change or reperspectivation that results in context model modification and consequently in topic recontextualization – the process of viewing and interpreting topic in a new context model.
Keywords: context model, topic, perspective, reperspectivation, recontextualization

O. Litvinyak Translation Quality Assessment as Viewed by Professor Yuriy O. Zhluktenko
Abstract. The problem of translation quality assessment and approaches to it was described by Yuriy O. Zhluktenko mainly in his reviews. His views on translation quality are based on a number of criteria, which change from case to case. However, the demand of preserving equivalence remains. In some cases translation quality assessment is done by contradiction, i.e. through indication to cer- tain pitfalls, their seriousness and number in translation. The researcher believes that it is necessary to promote translation criticism and determine a consistent approach to setting the criteria of translation quality assessment.

T.V. Lunyova The Concept SHIPWRECK in the essay "Shipwreck" by John Fowles: nonreflexive and reflexive aspects
Abstract: The article introduces a suggestion to discriminate between the nonreflexive and reflexive types of concept verbalization in texts. Nonreflexive verbalization is described as such a linguistic representation of a certain concept that involves the speaker’s / writer’s focus on the phenomenon represented by the concept but not on the concept itself. Reflexive concept verbalization is connected with a conscious attempt of a speaker / writer to think about the concept itself, i.e. about the content of the concept. The suggested discrimination between the nonreflexive and reflexive concept verbalization has been applied to the investigation of the peculiarities of the nonreflexive and reflexive actualization of the concept SHIPWRECK in the essay “Shipwreck” by John Fowles. The research has demonstrated that the nonreflexive actualization of the concept SHIPWRECK has the textual objectification of the logical, pictorial and emotive components of the abovementioned concept as its result. The reflexive actualization of the concept SHIPWRECK is done within the context of a deliberate writer’s attempt to reveal from the moral and ethical standpoint the reasons of the attraction of shipwreck sites to many people. The nonreflexive verbalization of the concept SHIPWRECK is connected with the metaphorical representation of the con- ceptual constituents of its pictorial and emotive components. The reflexive verbalization of the concept SHIPWRECK does not make use of metaphorization, while the concepts used to reflect on the abovementioned concept may be represented metaphorically. The nonreflexive verbalization functions in the essay as a source of information about the phenomenon of shipwreck. The reflexive actualization enables readers to develop conscious attitude to the shipwreck and fosters their ability to apply critical attitude and examine the feelings experienced while watching shipwrecks.
Keywords: concept, conceptual constituent, nonreflexive verbalization, reflexive verbalization, metaphoric conceptualization
