ՈՉ ՀԱՄԱՐԺԵՔ ԴԱՐՁՎԱԾՔՆԵՐԻ ԹԱՐԳՄԱՆՈՒԹՅՈՒՆԸ (ՀԱՅԵՐԵՆ ԵՎ ՌՈՒՍԵՐԵՆ ՕՐԻՆԱԿՆԵՐԻ ՕԳՏԱԳՈՐԾՄԱՄԲ) / TRANSLATION OF NONEQUIVALENT IDIOMS (USING ARMENIAN AND RUSSIAN EXAMPLES)

Abstract

Authors analyse possibilities of translating idioms that do not have corresponding equivalents in the target language. In addition to existing methods described in literature, they propose translation by means of compensation within a narrow context. The substitute idiom should be chosen from the same phraseosemantic field, and thus, both semantic link to the original text and important stylistic level typical of idioms are preserved in the target text. The theory is demonstrated by examples of translation from Armenian into Russian and vice versa.
