Abstract
The article analyzes the lexical transformation, examined their characteristics and ways of translation on the example of the novel «The Hunger Games» by Suzanne Collins. Transformations are used when there are no equivalents in the target language, while translating polysymentic words, when there are partial equivalents. The most important and difficult are lexical transformations. There are three reasons while using typical lexical transformations: in the target language there is no equivalent to a particular original word; phrase is incomplete, covering only part of the word in the source language. Thus, when the have Ukrainian translation of some words; there are different variants in the target language which correspond to words with a lot of meanings. All lexical transformations describe formal and content relationship among the words in the source and target languages. Transliteration, transcription, calque are formal lexical transformations. The translator has to be very experienced to make a faithful translation of the information from the source language while using transformations. The problem of accurate translation while using different kinds of transformation is very important nowadays.
