KING JAMES BIBLE AND SYNODAL TRANSLATION: AN ATTEMPT OF LINGUOCULTURAL COMPARISON
The present paper aims to compare some aspects, connected with the history of creation and functioning of the two main versions of Holy Writ in English and Russian Languages: King James Bible (1611) and Synodal Translation (1876). Although chronologically these written monuments are far apart and there are no direct genetic links between them, some typological parallels may be postulated, both in the history of their creation and in their linguocultural characteristics.
