The chapter considers the specific character of translator’s communicative competence due to the nature of translation work. The paper analyses specific characteristics of translation as a type of speech and professional activity, which distinguish it from other types of language mediation. Based on these characteristics the author makes an attempt to describe the nature of translator’s knowledge of a foreign and native language. According to the author such knowledge can be described as systematic, interconnected, autonomous, extensive, versatile, changeable, mobile, heuristic. The author also considers the specific character of translator’s personality as an important factor which influences the nature of translator’s language knowledge. The author considers several conceptions of communicative competence, including V. Cook’s concept of multicompetence, which can serve as a basis for the conception of translator’s communicative competence. The author proposes to use the model of communicative language ability (L.F. Bachman & A. Palmer) as a basis for the model of translator’s communicative competence as it allows to fully reflect the specific character of its structure and contents.

Institutions affect investment decisions, including investments in human capital. Hence institutions are relevant for the allocation of talent. Good market-supporting institutions attract talent to productive value-creating activities, whereas poor ones raise the appeal of rent-seeking. We propose a theoretical model that predicts that more talented individuals are particularly sensitive in their career choices to the quality of institutions, and test these predictions on a sample of around 95 countries of the world. We find a strong positive association between the quality of institutions and graduation of college and university students in science, and an even stronger negative correlation with graduation in law. Our findings are robust to various specifications of empirical models, including smaller samples of former colonies and transition countries. The quality of human capital makes the distinction between educational choices under strong and weak institutions particularly sharp. We show that the allocation of talent is an important link between institutions and growth.
