INTRALINGUISTIC FACTORS USED TO RENDER THE ORIGINAL’S STYLISTIC PECULIARITIES (EXEMPLIFIED BY AMERICAN FICTION)

Abstract

The paper deals with intralinguistic factors typical of both the source and target language systems as effective means to render various stylistic peculiar features of the fiction original as their equivalents in the translated version. The authors analyze numerous stylistically marked excerpts taken from an American novel inadequately rendered into Russian. Special heed is paid to intralinguistic factors used to enable both equivalent and inadequate rendering of such particularly effective stylistic means as alliteration, pun, expressively coloured abbreviations and occasionalisms which are extremely punishing to be recreated in the translated text. With that in mind, the authors suggest their own variants matching most cases that testify to the possibility of creating equivalent stylistic correspondences in principle.
