THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STYLISTIC ASPECT WHEN TRANSLATING PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS

Abstract

The article analyzes peculiarities of translations of phraseological units. It is noted that the theory of translation is closely related to stylistics. The rich vocabulary of the translator will not give anything if the style of the translated text does not correspond to the norm. Therefore, stylistic adequacy plays a key role in translation. In different languages, there are a huge number of stylistic means of different levels (phonological, lexical, phraseological, syntactic), although these means are not equally studied in linguistics. One of the stylistic means is the use of phraseological units. But this tool may not always be correct. For example, English phraseology is characterized by semantic and stylistic undifferentiation, which makes it difficult to find matches when translating it into Russian. Some expressions may not be stylistically equivalent when translated from Russian to English or from English to Russian. The most complex and difficult type of work in translation is the transfer of the content of phraseological units. In this sphere of language, nothing is on the surface. In most cases, the meaning of a phraseological unit lies in the history, ethnography, traditions, customs, and habits of the native-speaking people. When translating such units, when choosing the right synonym or the most accurate equivalent for a given context, translators often experience difficulties. After all, phraseological units are widely used not only in artistic speech, but also in socio-political speech.
