The article presents terminology search and verification methods in the modern translator’s work and identifies the caveats of using the internet as a source of information with regard to the absence of any revision by experts and its impact on the target language culture. Internet sources of terminology are further categorised into groups and discussed from the point view of their reliability and technical skills requirements.

The Experience of Time and Space in Hard Times by Charles Dickens
European Journal of Social and Human Sciences, 2015, Vol.(5), Is. 1, pp. 10-18.
Abstract:
The paper is the attempt to present the analysis of the novel Hard Times by Charles Dickens in terms of time and space relations, according to the theory of Mikhail Bakchtin. The author of the article distinguishes different types of chronotope that constitute the construction of the novel. This distinction is based on the oppositions: town versus circus, where town represents the materialistic unchangeable world and the circus stands for spiritual life and symbol of freedom. The town represents a typical nineteenth – century industrial area, where life concentrates only on work and the inhabitants move like machines in the same directions every day; the circus, on the other hand, is the embodiment of human freedom, where people move in different dimensions (up and down, left and right, forewards and backwards). The movement in both places has a metaphorical meaning: it refers either to the limitations imposed on humans (factories and school in the town) or to the pursuit for happiness (circus). By using such contrasts Dickens wanted to achieve the effect of realism in depicting Victorian world.

Grigory Rasputin in the Mirror of Western Screen
European Journal of Social and Human Sciences, 2015, Vol.(5), Is. 1, pp. 24-27.
Abstract:
The article argues the approaches to the analysis of Western screen stereotypes of Grigory Rasputin as a kind of a metaphor of Russia's image in Western interpretation. Thus, as a result of the analysis it can be concluded that the Western film interpretations using Grigory Rasputin's image construct an extremely simplistic image of the country. Consequently, a barbaric, unpredictable, rebellious, mystical, and most importantly – a strange, not compatible with the normal US-European way of life, image of Russia is created.
