Abstract

In the article the general psychological mechanisms of activity (perception, memory, comprehension); specific mechanisms of activity (attention, probabilistic forecasting of speech, etc.); specific mechanisms of interpreting/translation (switching, conversion, etc.) are analyzed. It is determined that the sight translation process consists of three main phases: perception of the source text, translation decision making and performance of the target text. Skills and subskills inherent in every phase of the sight translation process are considered. The first phase of the sight translation process includes skills and subskills of deverbalization, possession of wide field of view during reading, and probabilistic forecasting during semantic analysis of the source text; the second phase includes skills and subskills of switching and translation transformations usage; the third phase involves skills and subskills of operations synchronization.
