  Abstract

  This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to map the key research trends in translation studies from 2015 to 2025. The dataset comprised journal publications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. The analysis identified 2021 as the most prolific year. Citation patterns revealed that earlier publications, particularly between 2015 and 2016, had the highest average citation rates, with a gradual decline observed in subsequent years. A sustained scholarly interest in traditional translation models was observed. Emerging areas, such as language processing, cognitive linguistics, artificial intelligence integration, governance, corpus linguistics, healthcare translation, and community interpreting, have gained prominence. Collaborative metrics showed contributions from 7,197 authors across 2,528 documents, indicating a moderate level of scholarly collaboration. The University of London was the most productive institution. The United States ranked first in publication output, followed by the United Kingdom and China. The results provide a systematic overview of the impact and advancements in translation studies, highlighting global patterns and identifying directions for future research.

  Rendering Movies through the Prism of Eco-Translatology (Based upon the Ukrainian Dubbed Translations of Oppenheimer and Barbie)

  Artur Gudmanian, Andriana Ivanova

  View PDF Article Preview

  Abstract

  The paper examines eco-translatology in the context of film translation from English into Ukrainian. Its primary aim is to apply an eco-translational approach to audiovisual translation and to identify the linguistic, cultural and communicative shifts that emerge in the process. The study analyzes two of the best-selling films of the 21st century – Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan and Barbie by Greta Gerwig – along with their Ukrainian dubbed versions. The research employs comparative and quantitative content analysis, culture-oriented and translation-focused methods and draws on the core principle of eco-translatology: the holistic perspective. The findings highlight the interdependence of translation, language, culture, humans and nature as integral elements of a unified process of transferring meaning from the source text to the target text.

  The Fragile Boundary of the Word: Valery Bryusov in Vahan Terian’s Translation

  Meri Hovhannisyan

  View PDF Article Preview

  Abstract

  This article presents an examination of all the poems by Valery Bryusov, a leading figure of Russian Symbolism, that were translated into Armenian by Vahan Terian, one of Armenia’s most lyrical poets. These translations, spanning over a decade, reveal not only Terian’s deep engagement with Russian Symbolism but also his unique ability to reimagine Bryusov’s poetic world through the lens of Armenian lyric tradition. Rather than offering literal renditions, Terian’s translations preserve the philosophical depth, emotional intensity and symbolic imagery of the original texts while transforming them with new rhythms, cultural references and spiritual tones. Through a close comparative analysis, the study explores how key themes, such as solitude, memory, loss, the metaphysics of time, etc. are reinterpreted poetically. The article argues that Terian functions not merely as a translator but as a poetic co-creator, whose works offer a rare example of artistic dialogue across languages, cultures and systems of symbols.

  Translation of Allusions as a Problem of Cultural Transfer (Based on the Novel Shame by Salman Rushdie)

  Narine Harutyunyan, Armine Khachatryan

  View PDF Article Preview

  Abstract

  This article examines the translation of allusions as a key problem of cultural transfer within literary texts, focusing on the Armenian and Russian translations of Salman Rushdie’s novel Shame. The analysis is carried out using intertextual, comparative, and linguacultural methods, which allows us to identify the main strategies for conveying intertextual references. Allusion is a multi-faceted stylistic device that involves the activation of phenomenological precedents relating to literature, mythology, the Bible, history and political events. The challenges of translating allusions concerning Indian mythology and the very complicated political and cultural context for Pakistan necessitate more extralinguistic competence on the part of a reader and the translator. It has been established that adequate transmission of allusions is possible only with a comprehensive approach combining linguistic and cultural-historical knowledge. The results can be useful in the theory and practice of translation, as well as in studies of intertextuality and linguacultural studies.

  Abstract

  Martial Law in Ukraine, initiated due to Russia’s large-scale invasion in 2022, has significantly impacted various aspects of the country’s life, including linguistic processes. In globalisation and active collaboration with international organisations, English is crucial in professional communication, particularly in defense, medical, technical and humanitarian fields. This study aims to review the impact of martial law on the adaptation of English terminology in Ukraine. The methods included structured interviews with students studying English and practising translation, surveys to collect quantitative data on challenges encountered while adapting English military terminology (the study focuses on military texts originating from the United States and the United Kingdom) into Ukrainian and observations of educational sessions. A total of 43 academic works were selected to explore the article’s topic, conduct a comparative educational analysis and delve into translation processes and neology issues. The study involved 45 participants, including 15 students. The results revealed that incorporating English military terminology into Ukrainian has significantly accelerated and acquired new characteristics. The analysis of relevant literature uncovered the peculiarities of translating military terminology from diachronic and synchronic perspectives. The research findings have shown that English military terminology presents significant challenges and complexities in translation, as it serves both an expressive and a referential function. The exotic nature of these borrowed terms indicates connotative intensification, reflecting an ideologically rather than terminologically driven segmentation of extralinguistic reality.
