The creativity of artificial intelligence in translation
The lecture deals with the comparison of human and machine translation using examples of different styles. Morphosyntactic and lexical analysis of the translation evaluates the quality of machine translation from German into Slovak in user manuals, advertising texts, websites, journalistic texts, official documents and literary texts. Based on translation universals, the author evaluates the possibilities of translation in the form of the law of increasing standardization and interference with the source text (G. Toury). The aim is to determine the degree of creativity of the automatic translator when translating texts of a technical, advertising, journalistic and artistic style.
