Abstract
The article provides the description of the structural and semantic features of oxymoron in G. Orwell's novel “1984” and its translations into Russian. The paper raises the problem of translatability of the oxymoron, compares the features of the oxymorons of the source text and its translations, and compares the features between translations. The research identifies that the authors of the translations tend to preserve the oxymoron: they don't usually change its structure and achieve the identity of the stylistic effect using antonymic relations similar to the original. Structural and semantic deviations can be caused by differences in language systems, lexical compatibility, and translation transformations.
