LEXICAL AND STYLISTIC FEATURES OF TRANSLATION OF BELGIAN SONGS

Abstract

The work studies lexical and stylistic features of translation of songs by contemporary Belgian artists such as Angèle, Roméo Elvis, and Claire Pommet. The authors of the article have determined the theoretical significance and scientific novelty of the study, as well as its theoretical and methodological framework. An algorithm for analyzing the lexical and stylistic features of song lyrics has been developed. The analyzed material reveals the most and least frequent lexical and stylistic means in the original and translated texts, which create imagery and enhance the aesthetic perception of the text. Thus, the most frequent lexical and stylistic means are repetitions and epithets, and the least frequent are comparisons. The research examines the translation methods used by translators and found that the most frequent method is interpretation, while adaptive translation is used less frequently. These translation methods allow for the preservation of the pragmatic function of the utterance, even with significant in case of significant deviations from the original shape.
