РОЛЬ И СПОСОБЫ АДАПТАЦИИ ИНОЯЗЫЧНОГО СУБСТРАТА В ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННОМ ТЕКСТЕ

Abstract

This article considers the functioning of the English language in its secondary cultural orientation. Examples of a foreign language substratum are identified in literary works of fiction (R. DeWoskin “Foreign Babes in Beijing: Behind the Scenes of a New China” and G. Shteyngart “The Russian Debutante’s Handbook”), their role and ways of adaptation for a recipient are described. The analysis shows that adaptation of all identified examples is carried out by the writers through internal translation, which is presented by a complex of various language techniques: practical transcription, descriptive translation, literal translation, selection of optional match, the use of wide context. The used substratum units create a special atmosphere in the text, help learn more about the described culture and its people’s mentality.
