TRANSLATING POETIC DISCOURSE

Linguistics

Authors

  • Buitkiene J.

Annotation

The paper aims to throw some light upon the differences in structuring texts in the process of translation. These differences are connected with certain variations on the surface level of FT (text cohesion), while it is assumed that the deep structure of ST (text coherence) has to be preserved in the process of translation. The Lithuanian poetic text and its translations into English and Russian were analyzed. The obtained data show that the translators allowed for certain modifications on the surface level of the discourse that manifest themselves most clearly in the omissions, additions and alterations.
