THE PHENOMENON OF ETHNOCULTURAL MARKERS IN TRANSLATION THEORY OF PROSE WORKS
The article deals with the issues of translation of literary works and the problems associated with the inadequate reconstruction of a literary text in translation. The comparative analysis was based on the story of Oralkhan Bokey “The Thaw” and its translation into Russian by Alexander Kim. When considering the literary material, the author of the article pays special attention to such aspects as the compression of the text during translation as a result of the simplification of ideological layers of content; preservation of the general ideological message laid down by the writer in the original text; various perspectives in the story (the narrator’s, the author’s, the character’s). It is also important to transfer the auxiliary elements of the work into another language, for example, the epigraph, which was omitted during the translation of the work in question. The article analyzes the structural and other formal differences between the translated text and the original work. The discrepancy in the semantic relation was revealed due to the untranslatability of specific elements of the original text, which, however, is recognized as inevitable in the context of ethnocultural specificity, the differences in the sets of expressive means inherent in different languages. In addition, the personality of the translator, his experience and skills (talent) also affect the completeness and accuracy of the translation of the original work. As a result of the study, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that the most important thing for a translator is the ability to clearly and accurately reflect the figurative world of the work, the idea, the perspective and the style of the writer.
