ON THE ASPECT OF LINGUOCULTURAL TYPOLOGY OF THE BIBLE TRANSLATIONS
The present paper deals with some aspects of the linguocultural role, played by the translations of Holy Writ, especially in the process of the formation and development of the literary languages in the Christian religious and cultural area. In different periods and different regions the forms of the process mentioned were specific enough. It is stated that one of the decisive moments influencing the process was the existence (or the non-existence) of the previous literary tradition on the target language and the level of its development. The life of the languages, on which the Bible was translated, later turned out to vary.
