COMPARISON OF CULTURAL SEMANTICS AND TRANSLATION OF RUSSIAN AND CHINESE WORDS

Abstract

The article studies culturally-marked vocabulary and translation of it into Russian and Chinese languages. Using the examples of linguoculturological comparative analysis of vocabulary, it is shown that both Chinese and Russian culture have their own characteristics, which are clearly reflected in terms of the meaning of vocabulary. It should be noted that the identification and identical interpretation of the cultural semantics of linguistic units is a fundamentally important factor in successful translation. In this regard, the article identifies three types of culturally-marked vocabulary and summarizes the corresponding translation strategies. The purpose of the study is to comprehensively describe the national and cultural characteristics of Russian vocabulary and a comparative analysis of the Russian and Chinese languages, which have a peculiar style, as well as to clarify their commonalities and individual characteristics, and to reveal their internal laws.
