me, as if I do not
remember!!!”

.
The type of translation, where the
correlation between units of SL and
TL is established on the level of
phonemes, is called transcription
.
In case, when the correlation is established on
the level of graphemes, i.e. of the graphic form
or spelling of an outgoing word, and not of its
pronunciation, then we speak about
transliteration

This type of translation is still more seldom,
than the translation on the level of phonemes:
morphological structure of semantically
equivalent words in different languages
usually does not coincide, especially in the
domain of grammatical (word-changing and
word-forming) morphemes, their set being
different in different languages.

Unit of Translation
(or Translation Unit)
A term used to refer to
the linguistic level at
which ST is recodified in
TL.
“the smallest unit of SL which has an
equivalent in TL”
(Barkhudarov)
…unit of translation can itself
“have a complex structure”, although “its
parts taken individually are
‘untranslatable’
, in that no equivalents can be
established for them in
TT”
Barkhudarov (1969)
argues that the entire
text can sometimes
serve
as the unit of
translation, although in
practice limits this to
the case of
poetry;
In a similar way Koller
(1979/1992) restricts
this possibility
to poetry and
advertising.
