Abstract
The article discusses the use of empathy in conveying the author’s communicative intention on the example of the author’s translation of Tugdual de Gouvello’s autobiographical work "Enfant Fa’a’amu." In order to achieve the aforementioned goal, a number of methods were employed, including the method of contextual analysis, the method of comparative analysis and the method of solid sampling. It can be concluded that empathy allows the translator to gain insight into the author’s inner world, thereby enabling the determination of the communicative intention and the facilitation of the reader’s comprehension of the hidden meanings and the author’s experiences. It can be postulated that in order to achieve a communicatively equivalent translation, the translator needs to be creative.
