Eine der Folgen dieser Verschiebung des Interesses war die Zunahme in der empirischen Forschung in den Übersetzungsprozess. Dies wurde durch die Überzeugung, dass, was im Kopf der Übersetzer geht, während sie gegenüber dem, was Wissenschaftler hatte behauptet, könnte auf mindestens so entscheidend für das Verständnis der Übersetzung als einer vergleichenden Analyse des Endprodukts, der übersetzte Text gehen, ist die Übersetzung angetrieben, Bezug auf den Quelltext.

We elaborate a theoretical and practical support of structural and semantic peculiarities of water terminology in English and Romanian based on wusteriene and neowusteriene terminology theories. Origins of semasiology and onomasiology are traced and current research areas, principles and techniques are discussed. We take as a standard the European Water Directive terminology, and try to raise the quality of Moldavian water terminology by analyzing the semantic and structural peculiarities of both.

The study of translation may be product, process, participant and context oriented. The article is dedicated to descriptive product oriented study of translation of both written and oral discourse. We speak of the use of critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics methods and techniques to research the product of written and oral discourse translation, paying special attention to corpus as research instrument for product oriented study of oral and written discourse translation, its definition in the context of linguistics and some points researchers might wish to consider while building their own corpus as there are very few translation corpora that are publicly available. We discuss the opportunities offered by critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics as well as some of the pitfalls of product oriented descriptive study of translation.

That means cultural as well as personal peculiarities of the sender must be considered. Thus, the decision with regard to the algorythm of translation will be made after considering both linguistic and extralinguistic factors. In particular, the article will discuss strategies to avoid pragmatic failure in translation, specifically of the strategy of cautious optimism. We shall first refer to the concept of pragmatic failure, its types and eventual causes in communication in general and in intercultural communication mediated by translation in particular. We shall examine the role of the translator in preventing pragmatic failure in translator mediated intercultural communication, both at the stage of communicating with the sender and at the stage of transmitting the sender’s message to the audience. We shall provide relevance-theoretic explanations and examples of ways to apply cautious optimism. Reasons to to avoid naiv optimism in message interpretation shall also be provided.
