Lexical Gaps. Resolution by functionally complete units of translation

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with translation problems caused by a rather specific notion of lexical gaps which are understood as lack of direct lexicalisation for a certain concept. This analysis is focused on the way such problematic cases are rendered in translational dictionaries and in language use, i.e. in corpora. However, the comparison of data from the two sources is not the only goal of the article. The other and, probably, a more important aim is to construct and to test a corpusdriven methodology finding translation equivalents for lexical gaps prior to translation. Certain recommendations as to the structure of an interactive translator ’s tool (a lexical data base or a lexicon) for translators (and, hopefully, for a machine translation system) follow.
