Abstract

The history of world civilization is a complicated and continuous process of receiving, processing, conservation and exchange of information. The cultural information presented in linguistic, mythological, musical, graphic and literary semiotic systems takes special place in the exchange of information. Literary texts are extremely interesting from the point of view of encoded information which is decoded in the processes of perception and understanding and recoded in the process of translation. The effective processing of information within literary texts needs a comprehensive approach and strategy. The modern tendencies of science and art unification give the possibility to use some scientific categories and notions in the new application spheres allowing us to describe some objects of humanities more precisely and effectively. The usage of the notion of entropy for the analysis of the variability within literary translation and original unexhaustiveness helps to find the optimal methods and strategies of translation.
