INTERDISCOURSIVITY AND POLYDISCOURSIVITY IN MEDIA AND ONLINE SPACE: TRANSFORMATION PATTERNS AND SCENARIOS IN TRANSLATION
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
Interdisciplinarity is at the cutting edge of cross-cultural communication studies. The phenomena of interdiscoursivity and polydiscoursivity in contemporary media texts impact cross-linguistic and cross-cultural communication. Various types of institutional discourse interact within both the source and target texts. The article examines the interaction of popular science, scientific, media, marketing, economic, medical, and therapeutic texts to refine the methodology for analyzing interdiscursive (polydiscursive) texts based on the discourse and communication translation model. It introduces theoretical provisions for the discourse and communication translation model of interdiscursive texts based on the scenarios of interdiscoursivity in the process of cross-linguistic and cross-cultural communication. Apart from the discourse and communication translation model, the research involves media linguistics and internet linguistics. The research corpus includes original English texts and their Russian translations in such genres as popular science articles, news, analytical publications, and official documents. When interdiscoursivity and polydiscoursivity manifest at all four levels of the model, they tend to trigger key changes, as well as certain patterns of interaction between various types of institutional discourse in the process of cross-linguistic and cross-cultural communication.
