The purpose of our research is to show the translation activity as a component of communicative motivation.
Methods of the research. The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling and generalization. The ascertaining research is used as an empirical method.
The results of the research. We proved, that translation activity is characterized by planning. Since the translation can be carried out in quite a variety of conditions (conditions of perception of the message text, such as auditory/visual, single/multiple; memorization conditions – significant-minor memory load; conditions of distribution in time of the main translation operations – synchronicity/ sequence; terms of translation – oral/written, one-time/multiple translations; the conditions of switching the personality from one language to another – limited- unlimited translation time), then the translator, based on this, determines the actions by which, in his/her opinion, the intermediate and final goals of the translation activity will be optimally achieved more quickly.
Conclusions. Translation is characterized by purposefulness, since all the actions of the translator and participants in communication have the aim at achieving a certain defined goal, and, finally, it is different by its structure, because the translation activity exists in actions and operations (perception of the source text, memorization, transition from one language to another, design translation, synchronization of translation operations, etc.). Translation activity is characterized by a certain heuristic nature, because the translation cannot be memorized, algorithmized, it can be carried out depending on the situation, motives and goals of the statement, etc. Thus, in the translation activity, such a component is communicative motivation. It is motivation that is the mechanism of oral translation activity that leads to the state of the activity of other mechanisms that directly implement the translation activity itself.
