METHODS OF COMPENSATION WHEN TRANSLATING POEMS FROM PERSIAN INTO RUSSIAN: A CASE STUDY OF “GULISTAN” BY SAADI SHIRAZI AS TRANSLATED BY R. ALIYEVA AND A. STAROSTIN
Any translation and especially that of poems from one language into another is accompanied by compensation, since the presence of rhyme, meter, f gures of speech and emotional tension is inherent in the poem, and the transfer of all these poetic elements is impossible from the source language into the translating language. T is article, relying on the comparative method and translation methods, examines the ways of compensation used in the Russian translation of Saadi Shirazi’s “Gulistan” by R. Aliyev and A. Starostin. T e goal is to identify the positions and levels in the poem, where elements of poetic speech are lost, and also to identify the techniques and methods used to compensate for the loss of these elements. T e scientif c novelty of the article lies in the classif cation of positions of loss of meaning and poetic elements when translating poems from Persian into Russian, in particular “Gulistan” by Saadi Shirazi, made by R. Aliyev and A. Starostin, and in the study of methods of their compensation. As a result, the authors come to the conclusion that the loss of elements of poetic speech during the translation of Saadi’s “Gulistan” from Persian into Russian is compensated by alliteration, assonance, the use of rhyming words, anaphora, etc.
