FORMING OF NEOLOGISMS IN THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE DURING THE PANDEMIC OF NEW CORONAVIRUS INFECTION AND FEATURES OF THEIR TRANSLATION INTO RUSSIAN

Abstract

The article reveals a problem of emergence of neologism terms that appeared during the CoVID-19 pandemic in the Japanese language. The paper studies how they appear and searches for means for the equivalent transfer of newly formed words and concepts from Japanese into Russian. The reasons for the mass character and high rate of spread of absolute and relative neologisms are described. The most successful examples of translation of neologisms in publicist texts from Japanese into Russian are considered and proposed. The results of the study revealed such difficulties in translation of neologisms that appeared during the CoVID-19 pandemic, as: search for equivalents to terms describing the realities inherent in Japanese culture, translation of Japanese words, the meaning of which in Russian is given by a phrase or a whole sentence, the selection of a suitable vocabulary grammatical transformation in the absence of an equivalent, taking into account the linguistic and cultural differences between the Japanese and Russian languages.
