Abstract

This article examines the mechanisms behind semantic loss in the translation of terms between different languages, including natural, professional, and specialized discourses. The study analyzes the features of terminological systems, the influence of cultural and cognitive factors on term interpretation, and typical cases of meaning transformation during cross-linguistic transfer. Special attention is given to issues of accuracy, unambiguity, and contextual dependence of terms, which make their translation a complex and multidimensional process. Strategies for minimizing semantic loss and methods for ensuring adequacy and equivalence in terminological correspondences are also explored.
