Документ Lexico-semantic and Grammatic Peculiarities of English Business Letters and Ways of Conveying Them into Ukrainian(Видавничий дім «Гельветика», 2025) Aleksenko Svitlana Fedorivna; Алексенко Світлана ФедорівнаThe article seeks to explore lexico-semantic and grammatic features of the English business letters and outline the translation techniques of conveying them into Ukrainian. A business letter is analyzed as a textual unity of content and expression of the content which is characterized by intentionality; semantic, grammatic and communicative cohesion and coherence; conventionality of form; recurrence of set expressions (clichés); absence of emotive and expressive vocabulary; specific syntactic arrangement. It has been estimated that translation difficulties of transferring English business letters into Ukrainian stem from semantic and syntactic differences, the polysemy of English lexis, terms including, divergent manifestations of formal style, embedded in the respective languages, and lack of direct equivalents in the terminological systems of both languages. Thematic groups of English business terminology have been outlined, with prevalent translation devices of delivering them into Ukrainian having been specified. It has been emphasized that delivery of abbreviations and shortened forms of terminology accepted in the English industrial domain cannot be conceived of without the resort to relevant, specially compiled dictionaries and / or glossaries. The following semantic groups of standardized clichés and their illocutionary load have been brought into focus: enquiries, follow-up clichés, notifications, offers, orders, complaints and excuses. Their examples in the form of English-Ukrainian counterparts have been juxtaposed and analyzed in terms of the translation techniques employed. The material of study clearly showcased that the dominant translation methods leveraged were actualized on the referential and componential levels of equivalence. It is noted that the adequacy of the translated into Ukrainian business letters and agreeing English syntactical patterns with their Ukrainian matches can only be attained if certain lexico-semantic and grammatic transformations are used. These include substitution, addition, calquing, semantic modulation, compensation, word order change and partitioning.
