discharge and mutual transformation of emotions and release of psychic energy in the form of feelings. While translating texts of fiction, the interpreter should exercise great care, since any inaccurate choice may result in the target text reader's inability to attain an adequate aesthetic response. The broader the "areas" of overlapping of author and translator's individual mental spaces are, the more successful is the translation. Among prospective areas of further research are gender peculiarities of aesthetic response in translation. © Serhiy Zasyekin (Volyn Institute for Economics and Management, Lutsk, Ukraine) REFERENCES Balonov, L., Deglin L.

Meaning: A translator's view of how the concept of meaning could be best conceived and defined for the trade This paper has been encouraged by the publication of Maite Aragonés Lumeras: Meaning: The Philosopher’s Stone of the Alchemist Translator (Translation Journal, Volume 12, No. 3 July 2008 http://translationjournal.net/journal/45meaning.htm). She seems to be brave enough to raise the issue of the definition of meaning in a context where even theoretical and applied linguists fail to provide a decent definition of the term. For instance, a prominent professor of Linguistics in Hungary 1 has only this to say: „meaning (sense) is a relational term...". Whereas the term itself „relational" never gets defined elsewhere, and I am not surprised. But I am pleasantly surprised at reading Lumeras's statement that in some areas of study the importance of contextualizing texts is recognized, and „meaning is not content any more, but is relativized, negotiated and remodeled according to external factors... etc." We do not translate a word, but the longest sequence or cluster of words that makes sense when checked against two realities, in L1 and L2. I totally agree with her in defining meaning as a twopart entity (on each side of an equation formula): first as a phrase as written down or said, and second, as the context (taken in its widest sense) of reality sufficiently detailed to identify whatever is referenced or unambiguously defined by that phrase. Obviously, the less you know, the more explicit (additional written or oral) references you have to be given of anything to be identified or described, and vice versa, always keeping in mind that you are helped to grasp the meaning as far as it is complemented by the availability of a or the context. Man is a meaning-seeking animal, so he will also seek meaning where meaning is not obvious or is hidden, allowing that meaning is not a property of texts only. Meaning is something more general; it can be attributed to natural phenomena, pictures, sounds and anything that may have relevance to the human condition and intentions. Hence the provision of a definition of meaning is not the privilege of linguistics, but should be a shared product of psychologists, philosophers and other scholars to name just a few. Recently, ICT and AI scientists (including ontologists) have had a good say about the possible and widely acceptable variations of meaning, which should also be considered and tried. Ontologists are engaged in defining the meaning of various knowledge domains and they produce what they call semantic nets, various repertories of concepts with some graphic representations of the relations between them. Yet the most common repertory of meaning limited to that of a word only is usually a dictionary of some kind. I am not going to evaluate dictionaries here; I will only risk one important remark: the fact that the core of most dictionaries is a headword is a serious drawback to the further development of knowledge in linguistics and translation technology.
