PECULIARITIES OF TRANSLATION OF REALIA: PROPER NAMES AND TOPONYMS (ON THE MATERIAL OF HISTORICAL NOVEL "BEN HUR" BY LEW WALLACE)
Abstract
The article considers such concepts as language
and culture, linguistic world image, connotation of names of
famous historical heroes and place-names in fiction, peculiarities
of translating realia: proper names and toponyms on the
material of historical novel Ben Hur by Lew Wallace. Realia
translation is one of the most complicated and urgent issues
in translation theory. When researching methods of translation
of antique, Old Testament and Early Christian realia it is
necessary to take into account the overlapping of three linguistic
world images: of Hebrew (or Latin), English and Russian,
as well as their time co-relation.
