REALIA-WORDS IN RUSSIAN LITERATURE OF THE 20TH CENTURY: FEATURES AND WAYS OF TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH AND SPANISH

Abstract

The article deals with a problem of realia-word translation of literary texts. The pertinence of the topic stems from the fact that there is no single method of translation of realiawords as a translator should not only transfer the meaning, but also give the reader understanding of each realia by all possible means. The analysis is based on the novel of the twentieth century, written by M.A. Bulgakov that reflects national and cultural features of the social and everyday life in the USSR and the Roman Empire. The object of the study is connotative vocabulary of the Russian language. The ways of realia-word translation from Russian into English and Spanish are the subject of the research. The author uses theoretical analysis, comparison and analysis of scientific literature in the field of non-equivalent vocabulary. The article demonstrates identified principles of nationally-marked vocabulary transmission into English and Spanish that can be used in future theoretical and practice work. The author comes to conclusion that each case of realia-word translation should be analysed and dealt with individually to reach the most adequate translation.
