The thesis includes three parts: the translation of the source text, the commentary and attachments, which include the source text, a questionnaire used to assess specialized knowledge of recipients, and a chart summarizing its results. The commentary includes four parts. The first one contains a source text analysis. The second one describes the communication situation of the translation and the method of translation. Particular problems that arose during the translation are solved in the third part. The last part describes necessary shifts that occurred in the translation. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org
