PROBLEMS OF FOLKLORE TRANSLATION (BASED ON TRANSLATIONS OF KAZAKHSTANI ETHNICITIES’ FAIRY TALES)

Abstract

The article considers linguistic and cognitive specifics of translating folklore texts of the ethnicities residing in Kazakhstan. The authors disclose problems and principles of translation by analyzing linguistic means of expression and techniques of folklore text rendition into another language, with the consideration of ethnic and cultural peculiarities. The study of interaction of language and culture allows to explore peculiarities of a language in the context of different ethnicities’ language consciousness. A comparative analysis of folklore texts based on the analysis of theoretical materials and practical experience of translating fairy tales of the Kazakhstani ethnicities brings to light not only to the translation problems, but also to the specific nature of the studied material. The disclosure of problems and principles of translation helps to carry out a comprehensive study of the means of linguistic expression in folklore texts and their rendition. The obtained results of the analysis of the translation techniques reveal their effectiveness.
