TRANSLATION OF CODESWITCHES FROM ENGLISH INTO RUSSIAN IN THE NOVEL "A CLOCKWORK ORANGE" WRITTEN BY E. BURGESS
The author of the paper studies the codeswitches in the novel “A Clockwork Orange” by A. Burgess and in its two Russian translations made by V. Boshnyak and E. Sinelschikov. In the paper, there are definitions of such key terms as code switching, bilingualism, literary bilingualism and translation. Insertion of foreign language elements has always been one of the challenges for the translation process. The author examines the structure of codeswitches in the original novel followed by their comparison with that of the code switches in the above mentioned translations. The main ways of translating codeswitches are analyzed in each translation text, and the conclusions are made about the most adequate translation ways of codeswitches in the case when the Embedded language of the original novel coincides with the Matrix language of the translated text. If code switching can be understood without translation, it can be given without any changes, the translator can only hint on its meaning in the next sentence. The other way is to keep the atmosphere of foreignness in the text of the translation by saving the original short utterances if their meaning is clear from the context. In conclusion we reveal the advantages and disadvantages of the translations under consideration.
