WAYS OF REPRESENTATION AND TRANSMISSION OF PORTRAIT MACROCONCEPT BY THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE (ON MATERIAL OF GERMAN FICTION TEXTS)
The article investigates the problem of rendering of portrait macroconcept in Ukrainian translations of German literary texts. The research was performed due to comparable aspect in the framework of the contrastive linguistics aspects. The research focused on the study of the portrait conceptual semantics in the meaning structure of the lexical units and on the analysis of the possible language ways of their transmission. Taking into account that all previous researches have been undertaken from the linguistic viewpoint, there is an actual need in the study of the semantic component ‘portrait’ in the terms of translation of the meaning structure of lexical units and analysis of all possible means of language used to transfer the ‘portrait’ semantic during translation. In connection herewith the assumption about the existence of the the semantic component ‘portrait’ in the meaning structure of lexical units of the source language and its influence on the choice of means to reproduce the portrait macroconcept in the target language is one of the fundamental hypotheses. In contrast to previous studies, the actual side of this research is the analysis of a direct (implied) as well as indirect (explicated) description of the character from the translator’s point of view and the development of own classification of the means of reproduction of portrait macroconcept in the translation of belles-lettres. The translational overviewing of the categorical semantics of the parts of speech representing portrait macroconcept showed necessary results. The exemplifying of representation and language realisation of static and dynamic portrait macroconcept in German fictional texts illustrated its transmission into the Ukrainian language. The research has been based on the cognitive-orientated method and performed within the framework of the constitutional, pragmatic and cognitive paradigm.
