LITERARY TEXT AS AN OBJECT OF TRANSLATION WITH THE USE OF DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
The topic outlined in the article attracts an invariably high theoretical interest of linguists. For centuries literary translation (especially of English and French authors) contributed to the development of intercultural relations. The reference to discourse and discursive analysis is conditioned by the fact that the very concept of discourse means such communication in the process of which people (communicants) understand each other. Understanding is the disclosure of the meanings that people convey to each other in the process of information exchange, the disclosure of effects of these meanings against the backdrop of cultures to which a sender (one who reports information) and a receiver (who attains this information) belong. Discourse communication based on the process of understanding can make a definite contribution to the rapprochement and understanding of English and Russian cultures. The article investigates the specificity of a literary text, allowing to consider it as a discourse and suggesting a relevant method of its translation - discourse analysis. The purpose of the article is to reveal the specifics of literary translation, which is carried out by the method of discourse analysis. Discursive analysis in the case of its real implementation has cultural effects, promotes better understanding of people, which removes various kinds of tension in the relationship and is the basis for the development of trust between people and cultures. Despite a controversy of the definitions of discourse there is an invariant - its orientation to the semantic understanding of the text, achieved by discourse analysis through the involvement of extralinguistic factors in the narrative description of the characters and the plot. These factors (“discursive formations” according to M. Foucault) create an opportunity through translation to attach the reader to a foreign culture, to understand and accept it.
