THE ROLE OF TRANSLATION IN THE GLOBAL POLITICAL DISCOURSE
Abstract
The article analyzes translation aspects in the global political discourse. The author focuses attention on such categories as globality, publicity, mediality, multilingualism, intercivilizationalism and disharmony, which characterize political discourse under the conditions of globalization and creation of the common communication space. Global political discourse on the Internet is of particular interest to the author as the web is becoming the main source of information for the modern man, presenting a wide range of political ideas and world views and forming mass stereotypes of mass consciousness, actualized in political discourse. The study of political discourse on the Internet is important to predict the development trends of the global political discourse and global politics. The author emphasizes a multilingual character of global political discourse and presents recent data from the Internet electronic publication World Stats on the distribution of Internet users by language and the Internet penetration. Besides, the author focuses on the development of machine translation systems, including online translators and automatic telephone interpreters, and their usage in political discourse. Finally the author emphasizes the importance of creation of a sophisticated multilingual thesaurus to harmonize the global communication space and improve political discourse.
