PECULIARITIES OF A COMIC EFFECT TRANSFER IN THE SPHERE OF CONVERSATIONAL GENRE FROM CHINESE TO RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article examines originality of Chinese humor, namely the texts of the colloquial genre with a comic effect, from the point of view of the peculiarities of their transmission from Chinese into Russian language. When working with such texts, the translator faces many difficulties: the use of various stylistic devices (for example, comparison, metaphor, hyperbole), the use of puns based on polysemy and homonymy; ironic wording; playful rethinking, adding a new unexpected component or replacing one or more components with words with a synonymous or antonymous meaning, and so on. The selection made by the subject of the work made it possible to cover a fairly diverse layer of texts of the colloquial genre for further analysis of the possibility of preserving the comic effect in translation. The research material was not previously presented in Russian language, the article proposes the author’s version of the translation and translation solutions.
