Abstract
The article focuses on semantic and pragmatic aspects of using interactive egocentric units (such as personal deixis and discourse markers) in Russian literary translations of English prose. These units are usually employed to create images of the narrator and its addressee in a text and to realize their virtual contact. The research based on the analysis of original narratives and their numerous translations (made from the end of XIX to the beginning of XXI century) describes the repertoire of lexical and grammar units performing interactive function in English and Russian texts. The article presents new classification of egocentric units, based on their functions in texts. The widespread trends in translating egocentric units are described in the article. Seven translations of Edgar Poe’s “Hop-Frog” are used as the material for examples.
