SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF UNIVERSAL VOCABULARY GROUPS EQUIVALENCE (ON THE MATERIAL OF FICTIONAL TEXTS)

Abstract

The article deals with the universal group of vocabulary – verbs of motion as part of the problem of equivalence on the material of Pushkin’s prose works and their translations into German. The study presents the semantic structure of Russian and German verbs of motion through categorical, integral and differential semes. The author distinguishes groups of equivalents of Russian verbs of motion to go – to walk and their derivatives in German according to formal and substantive features, establishes the specificity of movement in space in the German language on the basis of comparative analysis of Russian verbs of motion and their German equivalents as part of the fiction style. The speaker’s location and the need to specify the language situation are justified as significant factors in choosing an equivalent in the German language.
