ЗАИМСТВОВАНИЕ РУСИЗМОВ В ОРИГИНАЛЬНОМ АНГЛОЯЗЫЧНОМ ОПИСАНИИ РУССКОЙ КУЛЬТУРЫ

Abstract

Globalization has made it necessary for all nations to employ international languages, and primarily English, to promote their cultures. Application of a language to a foreign culture by necessity requires certain adaptations of the language. Such type of communication results in the formation of a specialized variety of the language: Foreign-Culture-Oriented (FCO) Language. Making use of the latest achievements in interlinguoculturology (a modern branch of Linguistics worked out by professor V. V. Kabakchi and his school), devoted to the study of the language in its secondary cultural orientation towards a foreign culture, we look at original English-language texts about Russian culture and analyze how culturonyms and in particular Russian borrowings are incorporated into Russian-Culture-Oriented English. We pay a special attention to the cultural adaptation of Russian borrowings in the foreign-culture-oriented language and the compromise of the precision of the text and its accessibility to the audience.
