Preference for the native language requirement follows the linguistic correctness requirement and completes it. It means that native forms have an advantage over foreign forms. According to Toury (1985), “translators operate first and foremost in the interest of the culture into which they are translating, and not in the interest of the source text” (p. 18). The terms can be culture-bound, although it seems impossible within LSP. For example, the term feedback, standing for “the partial reversion of the effects of a process to its source or to a preceding stage” (Merriam-Webster), is often used in the descriptive form in Russian: обратная связь (Lingvo; Ruscorpora; OECD-1) (оbratnaja svyaz’; L.t.: reverse connection). The transcription form

*фидбэк is often used in colloquial modern Russian, which proves the semantic density and convenience of the English term. Nevertheless, this form is still not integrated into all spheres of life. For this reason, the descriptive form is often used (Ruscorpora has 1005 relevant entries):

“при ТРВК номинальный валютный курс имеет эндогенную природу, иными словами, существует обратная связь между инфляцией и номинальным курсом.” (Ruscorpora) (L.t.: reverse connection between inflation and nominal rate).

Regarding the preference for the native language requirement, the sphere of Corporate Governance, and Business in general, dictate certain rules for term forms. These spheres prefer innovative and recognizable forms, rather than descriptive ones. For this reason, such forms as фидбэк can easily substitute their descriptive pairs.
