Abstract

The paper deals with the study of the emotional speech of the character and the emotiveness of the novel "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by J. S. Foyer. Relying on the anthropocentric paradigm, linguistic-stylistic and linguopoetic methods of analysis, linguostylistic means of emotiveness have been analyzed and the main emothemes of the novel have been determined. The whole range of emotions of the main character of the novel under study is expressed in a number of emothemes: shame, anger, embarrassment, panic, anger, aggression, guilt, sadness, disappointment, happiness, relief, joy, comfort. It is shown that translation of emotional speech entails the careful selection of appropriate lexical-semantic, syntactic and stylistic means for adequate reproduction of emotionally marked micro and macro contexts. With the help of descriptive and comparative translation methods, the peculiarities of reproducing the emotiveness of the novel in the Ukrainian translation were revealed. The task of the translator of the emotionally marked speech of the character is to adequately reproduce the thoughts and emotions of the characters in order to evoke in the reader of the translation the same empathy as in the reader of the original. The translator of the novel under study exploits grammatical transformations, decompression, various lexical and semantic changes to adequately reproduce the emotional speech of the main character in J.S. Foyer's novel "Extremely Loud and Incredibly close" in the Ukrainian translation. The study also revealed sporadic cases of non-preservation of emotional connotation and alteration of stylistic mode, which led to semantic-emotional losses. It is concluded that the Ukrainian translation in most cases adequately preserves the emotional tone of the story, and the translation of key repetitions of adverbial intensifiers harmoniously correlates with the title of the novel and sets the expressiveemotional leitmotif of the whole novel.
