The specificity of scientific research is to determine the principles of explication of the conceptual content of literary texts by solving such problems as: establishing the semantic composition of lexical units to clarify their explicit and implicit meanings in the literary text, linguocognitive modeling of conceptual structures for textual reconstructions and explaining the link between knowledge of the world and how it is reflected in literary text. Development of the key problems of her scientific researches serves as the theoretical basis for the formation of professional translational communicative competence of translator and interpreter, in particular, teaching students to comprehensively approach the awareness of the presence and awareness of meaningful correspondences in the texts of the original language and the language of translation for the purpose of carrying out the translation analysis of written texts of different types of discourses – both technical (official business, science and technology, information, advertising, journalistic) and artistic (prose, poetry, etc.) for their translation from foreign languages into Ukrainian and from Ukrainian into foreign.
