Abstract

The Master’s thesis is devoted to the structural-semantic and stylistic features of English-language technical texts in the automotive industry and the specifics of their translation into Ukrainian, based on instructions, auto parts catalogues, and regulatory-technical documentation. Relevance of the research topic. In the context of intensive development of the global automotive industry and expanding international contacts, the study of the specifics of English technical texts, which form the basis of information support for production, operation, and maintenance of vehicles, is of particular importance. Instructions, auto parts catalogs, ISO and SAE standards, and other regulatory-technical documentation serve as key communication tools between manufacturers, service centers, dealers, and consumers. Their linguistic organization is characterized by high standardization, precision, terminological saturation, and specific structural-semantic and stylistic means. The relevance is driven by the growing need for high-quality and adequate translation of technical literature from English to Ukrainian amid globalization and active import of automotive products to Ukraine, which impacts road safety, maintenance efficiency, and harmonization of national standards with international ones. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the structural-semantic and stylistic features of English technical texts in the automotive industry and to clarify the specifics of their translation into Ukrainian based on instructions, auto parts catalogs, and regulatory-technical documentation.
