NORMATIVE ASPECTS OF THE TRANSLATION OF ETHNO-CULTURAL REALITIES OF MODERN AFRICAN FRANCOPHONE LITERATURE

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of ways to achieve compliance with translation norms in the translation of ethno-cultural realities interpreted as distinctive features of an ethnos, samples of spiritual and material culture. The analysis of the translation options of ethno-cultural realities is carried out on the work of an African francophone writer Kone Mamadou “Sira-bana”. The conducted research was based on comparative, descriptive methods, as well as on the method of linguistic interpretation. Data on the options and ways to achieve equivalence specify strategies and tactics for translating ethnocultural realities from French into Russian; and allow to develop recommendations for assessing the quality of translation. The results obtained indicate the need to comply with regulatory requirements for the translation of ethno-cultural realities: equivalence of translation, genre-stylistic, pragmatic, conventional norms and norms of translation speech.
