Oxymoron as a translation tool and a form of cultural translation (on the example of silver age poetry)

Abstract

The article shows the role of the oxymoron as a tool for transmitting stylistic means using the example of silver age poetry translations. An analysis of the functions of the "oxymoron" is given to justify the actual methods of transmitting the "oxymoron" into English based on the authors ' own translations. It is shown that the" oxymoron "in most cases can be transmitted by "calking", sometimes using the "adding" technique, which is also used when translating an entire line to preserve the rhythm, rhyme and melody of the context. Through the analysis of the translation material, its stylistic richness and features of the language transfer of meanings, it is proved that the oxymoron is a form of cultural translation, through which an effective literary and intercultural dialogue is possible.
