Abstract
The article examines the peculiarities of reproduction of archetypes in the translation of an artistic work. The interpretation of the concept of ‘archetype’, its classifi cations and levels of its mental representation in the text are studied herein. While examining the issue of universal and ethnocultural archetypes, the author of the article introduces the term ‘culturally determined archetypes’. The article contains the proposals as to the actions that are to be taken by a translator in the process of reproduction of the source language archetype in the target language, outlines what exactly it is necessary to pay attention to in order to properly translate the archetype. It is noted that if the archetypes are translated inadequately or inaccurately, the integrity of the literary work may be violated due to the partial loss of the symbolic meaning, or the emotional impact on the reader. It is proposed to include the archetypal analysis of the source and target texts to the translation studies analysis. Key words: archetype, psychological archetype, cultural archetype,culturally-preconditioned archetype, archetypal image, motive, symbol, translation.
