TRANSLATION OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN MODERN POLITICAL DISCOURSE FROM RUSSIAN INTO ARABIC AND VICE VERSA

Abstract

The translation of political phraseological units from Russian into Arabic and vice versa may be a difficult task, on the one hand, due to cultural and linguistic differences between these languages, and on the other hand, as a consequence of the fact that phraseological units in political discourse often perform not purely informative function, and with their structural and external properties create the desired emotive background for the discourse. As a result, the translator in such cases is required to have an unconventional and creative approach to translation. On the basis of specific examples of phraseological units in Russian and Arabic political discourse we have made an attempt to find the most appropriate ways of translating them in order to show the great diversity of their translation methods. The article presents translations with reproduction of the musicality of the phraseological unit, translations with the replacement of a national-cultural element, etc.
