Abstract. The study aims to identify communicatively equivalent interlanguage correspondences in English and Russian by conducting a comparative analysis of parallel texts in a communicative-pragmatic aspect, followed by the use of these results in solving translation problems. Based on the analysis of newspaper texts on the subject of ‘spontaneous combustion of smartphones’ / ‘phone fires’, the paper identifies the patterns of linguistic representation of logical and semantic categories and associative-verbal networks of words representing the key concepts within this topic. Associative-verbal networks consist of semantic zones reflecting the paradigmatic and syntagmatic representation of keywords. The study is novel in that it is the first to develop a methodology for conducting a comparative analysis of parallel texts and to obtain data on the patterns of use of linguistic units in the linguistic representation of the key logical and semantic categories. As a result, the theoretical and empirical research, on the one hand, identified interlanguage communicative-pragmatic correspondences at the level of expression of extra-linguistic, logical-semantic categories within the framework of comparative analysis, and, on the other hand, it proved the possibility of applying the results of such a functional, communicative-pragmatic comparative study in translation practice.
