Лингвокогнитивные особенности дейктической организации поэтического текста и их реализация в переводах с русского языка на английский (на примере отрывка из романа в стихах А. С. Пушкина «Евгений Онегин»)

What are the potential impacts of new technological advancements over research on the lives and work of literary translators? The emerging concept of human-centredness in translating with Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers unique opportunities to address this question from the existing perspective of Literary Translator Studies. Whereas much research in Translation Studies focuses on texts and processes, Translator Studies delves into individual people practically engaged in translation. Ever since the term “Translator Studies” was employed by Andrew Chesterman in 2009, the interplay between humans and technology in the context of literary translation has remained a potential topic of research. However, studies in this area have historically placed focus on sociological, cultural, and cognitive aspects of the translation industry. The sudden widespread availability of AI since the end of 2022, more than any previous technological development, carries with it substantial potential implications for literary translators. This article assesses the ways in which human-centredness is being studied at the beginning of the era of translation with AI. It synthesises existing Translator Studies research, identifying patterns and lacunae. It also takes stock of current conversations in the context of Literary Machine Translation and Computer-Assisted Literary Translation, in order to identify research questions and emerging methodological innovations at the point when the practical usability of generative AI in the context of literary translation is first emerging. At present, research in Translator Studies that is relevant to both literature and technology does not appear to have changed substantially in response to the introduction of generally available Large Language Models. Based on these findings, the article looks to the future, suggesting research topics that move beyond the isolated case study model, integrating the impact of emerging technologies within and beyond Literary Translator Studies. It also suggests that human-centred research that considers the interplay of literary translators and technology could likely make extensive use of data drawn from direct interaction with the humans involved.

This article presents a discussion of the theoretical and methodological challenges posed by digitization processes and born-digital sources within translation and translator studies research, particularly in archival contexts. It begins by demonstrating how the digitization of archives and source materials remains an undertheorized issue in translation contexts, as well as the need to understand how digitization allows new forms of “peripheral vision” across our research and publication processes. Subsequently, the article problematizes the archiving and use of born-digital sources to research translation and translators, particularly in terms of issues surrounding data collection, access and ethics. In doing so, this article argues that care must be taken to properly understand and preserve the digital sources that will enable archival research in the future, whilst emphasizing the new opportunities presented by digitized and born-digital sources to challenge the invisibility of translation and translators within many of the world’s archives and histories.

This article explores various types of lexical transformations applied in the translation of Akhmet Baitursynuly’s selected works into Russian. The research is based on the developing Kazakh-Russian parallel corpus of Baitursynuly’s texts, which serves as a valuable linguistic resource. The study is motivated by the authors’ dual role as both translators of Baitursynuly’s works and developers of the parallel corpus. The ob[1]jective of the research is to analyze the characteristics of lexical transformations in translation and to outline the principles of working with the Kazakh-Russian parallel corpus in translation practice. The advantages of using a parallel corpus as a tool for translation research and practice are also discussed. The study identifies several types of lexical transformations, including transcription, transliteration, concretization, generalization, lexical addition, omission, semantic development, and holistic transformation. A significant contribution of this study is the development of software that enables the automatic comparison of Russian and Kazakh texts. This tool enhances translation efficiency by reducing the time required to identify equivalents, facilitates translation analysis, and enables an assessment of the adequacy of applied translation strategies. The findings contribute to the advancement of translation studies and corpus linguistics, demonstrating the effectiveness of parallel corpora in translation research and practice. Particular attention is given to custom-built software de[1]veloped to automatically compare Kazakh and Russian texts. This tool speeds up the process of finding equivalents, increases the accuracy of translation analysis, and enables the assessment of translation strate[1]gies. The results presented make a valuable contribution to the fields of translation studies and corpus linguis[1]tics, creating new opportunities for researching Baitursynov’s legacy. The relevance of this study is supported by current trends in the use of corpus linguistics in translation studies. The parallel corpus does not perform automatic translation functions but supports in-depth analysis to improve translation quality. This article is the first to provide a detailed description of the development stages and application principles of the Kazakh[1]Russian parallel corpus of A. Baitursynov. The article also presents examples of translators’ detailed work to ensure accurate transfer of meaning and form, along with average statistics on the types of lexical transfor[1]mations found in the analyzed texts.

Omission and addition Phenomena in Quranic English Translation are two important issues that grasped the attention of many researchers in translation studies. This study aimed at investigating of omission and addition phenomena in Quranic English Translation of Nessim Joseph Dawood: with special reference to eight selected translated ayah -Surat Yusuf- Ayah-verse (18), Surat Al-Ma’arij, Verse( ayah:17), Surrat Al-Muddathir, ayah (11), Surat Maryam, Ayah (35), Surat Al-Qalam, Ayah (1), Surat Al-Baqarah, Ayah (186), Surat Al’Imran, Ayah:41), and Surrat Al-Jaathiya, Ayah:28).-Qualitative descriptive approach was adopted by the researcher to analyze the data extracted from Nessim Joseph Dawood’s English translation of the aforementioned Surahs. The study revealed losses occurring in translating some morpho-syntactic dimensions such as omitting and admission of important Quranic lexemes. contributed to semantic losses. One kind of such losses is a morph-syntactic loss, which sometimes takes place because of ideo-cultural divergences between the source language and the target language, (that is, Quranic Arabic language and the intended language, English language) This study recommended that omission and addition translation strategies should not be employed by the translators of the Holy Quran to reduce loss in the Quranic translation to maintain the intensity of the Message.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the linguistic and cultural potential of a literary text in Russian as a foreign language classes. The relevance of this work is due to the need to implement one of the important methodological provisions – the principle of the relationship between language and culture. An artistic text accumulates the cultural memory of the people; therefore, it becomes a source of linguistic and cultural information, which is represented by linguistic units containing culturally significant components. The purpose of the work is to identify the linguistic and didactic potential of a literary text (using the example of a poetic text by Marina Tsvetaeva) for use in the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The article describes the cultural space as a way of reflecting the worldview of the people, reveals the interrelationships of text and culture, identifies and describes the features of an artistic text (imaginativeness, aesthetic function, emotional coloring, the presence of visual and expressive means, ambiguity and interpretability, manifestation of the creative individuality of the author). A literary text is considered as a source of linguistic and cultural information in three aspects: linguistic, cultural, and emotional. As a unit of learning, an artistic text is a complex and structured medium of information that performs a variety of functions: the development of competencies, the improvement of skills and abilities, the formation and development of critical and creative thinking, value attitudes, and support for metacognitive skills formed in the practice of mastering the native language and culture. The methodological development of a lesson in Russian as a foreign language is presented, in which the poetic text of Tsvetaeva is analyzed. During the lesson, students get acquainted with new words, comprehend the deep meanings laid down by the author of the text, identify visual and expressive means that ensure the realization of the emotional and aesthetic functions of the poetic text. Based on the work carried out, it is concluded that literary texts help students immerse themselves in the context of Russian culture and evaluate the cultural heritage of native speakers of the Russian language

Pauses are one of the most universal markers of prosodic division in different languages. Their duration depends on various factors such as genre, syntax, and punctuation. In poetry, pauses not only help reveal the structure of the poem and emphasize its division into lines, but also reflect the varying degree of internal division within a line. This study presents the results of a perceptual experiment involving 11 participants who evaluated the presence and depth of prosodic breaks in spoken Russian poetry using a 5-point scale, which has been proven effective in previous experiments conducted on prose texts in Russian and Dutch. The experiment showed that native speakers successfully identify pauses in spoken poetry and consistently determine their depth. When evaluating the depth of division within a line, participants tended to use the lowest possible score. Additionally, a correlation was found between the duration of physical pauses in the speaker’s speech and the level of evaluation of prosodic breaks by the participants. These findings fill a gap in understanding the depth of prosodic division in poetry and confirm previously identified patterns of pause distribution in Russian poetry.

The comparative study of the Tatar translation of the novel in verses "Eugene Onegin" by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin and the original is performed in this scientific article in order to determine its artistic quality in the aspect of the lexical expressive means transfer of the original. The following methods and techniques were used in the work: comparative and hermeneutic method, etc. The study is based on the translation of Pushkin's novel, which was performed in the early 1950s, by Tatar poets Ahmet Iskhak, Ahmed Faizi and Shaykhi Mannur. In 1930s the novel was already magnificently translated by Fathi Burnash, but soon it was declared an "enemy of the people", and thus the regional committee of the party created a brigade of the best poets and ordered the translation to be published urgently. Based on the analysis of the novel in verse "Eugene Onegin" from the point of view of the lexical pictorial means of language use, we have discovered that Pushkin's language is full of rich imagery and a high degree of metaphorization and epithets. One of the most frequently used lexical stylistic devices in the novel in verse is metaphor and epithet. The author uses both simple and expanded metaphors. The latter can cover whole sentences or several sentences, forming the chain of metaphors for general semantics.

The last decade has seen rapid technological progress, which has opened up new research perspectives for language and translation studies, and extended empirical boundaries. Eye-tracking research is still considered to be innovative. The author emphasizes the need to intensify empirical research in translation studies, including eye-tracking research studies, and then describes their application by formulating specific research questions. This approach allows a description of real potentialities and perspectives of the eye-tracking method.In this paper the author describes an eye-tracking study which focused on the process of sight translation. The study was carried out using an eye-tracker Tobii T120. The author presents the results of eye-tracking analyses of sight translation of a Polish text into Russian and focuses on aspects of lapsology and translation didactics. By using heat maps and gazeplot maps obtained the author selects the text elements that required longest and most frequent fixations among the subjects and were thus indicators of translation problems. These elements were then subjected to a detailed translation analysis.The data obtained allows the author to indicate translation problem areas and strategies applied by the subjects. The next step in a comprehensive and systematic eye-tracking analysis of a sight translation will be to offer practical recommendations in the form of a specific translation teaching curriculum.

This chapter discusses the implication of corpus-based translation studies as a new research methodology in translation studies, which expands the scope of translation studies. The chapter then analyzes factors to be investigated in corpus-based translation studies following an analysis of the problems that arise. Despite all the limitations, corpus-based translation studies promise to be a worthy field for research in translation studies.

Russian language teaching methodology finds itself at such a stage of its development, where there is a shortage of textbooks that use rhyming text as a unit for learning Russian. We feel the need for such educational and methodological tools, because poetry can affect the soul — it opens students up, gets them interested in their work, and stimulates cognitive activity. We have made an attempt to make such a selection of rhymed texts that will correspond to the program thematically, lexically, grammatically, syntactically, as well as encourage students to be creative; that will be interesting to them and, furthermore, that will reflect the non-linguistic reality. As a result of our work, we have established that rhyming texts in Russian can cover all the topics fixed in the teaching Russian as a foreign language curriculum. In this article, we present different ways and techniques for including poetic texts in the educational process as exemplified by teaching first-year students. The purpose of our research was also to demonstrate the potential ability of rhyming texts to serve as a means of practice not only in phonetic skills, which alone can have entire manuals devoted to. We believe it to be necessary to continue the research to create a textbook based on poetic texts on Russian as a foreign language.

The article presents a methodology for working with an unadapted poetic text in Russian as a foreign language classes. The main objective of the article is to develop a step-by-step guide to reading the poem “Song of the Last Meeting" by AA. Akhmatova for foreign students who speak Russian at A2-B1 levels. The novelty of the article lies in the development of a methodology for leading questions, and is also determined by the choice of a poem that has not been previously described in the methodological literature on Russian as a foreign language. The article presents the stages of consistent work with the poem by AA Akhmatova, develops tasks for organizing educational work with the poetic text, and substantiate the choice of the poem. It contains a methodological toolkit for organizing the teacher’s work: the text of the poem, questions and sample answers, additional tasks. It is concluded that, as shown by successful testing, this method of work contributes to the formation of the skill of reading fiction in foreigners studying Russian.

On the basis of linguistic analysis at different levels of language, the cognitive method and elements of discourse analysis, this article studies ways, how the identity of Russian Germans is represented in poetic texts in Russian and German. Linguistic markers of the identity of Russian Germans, as well as key concepts, are identified, figurative means are analyzed. The article finds out the multiplicity and ambivalence of self-determination of Russian Germans, as well as the inalienability of both countries — Russia and Germany — for their identity.

Having presented directions of development in Translation Studies, based on themes of subsequent European Society for Translation Studies Congresses; as well as the chronology of changes and turns in translation research, the author presents the Action Research in Translation Studies (ARTS) model, which combines functionalist theories in TS with translation practice. ARTS aims at using theoretical cogitation in TS in order to introduce specific translation activities. The application of the ARTS model is illustrated here by the analysis of the Katzenjammer Kids translation unit. The conclusions regard the translator’s decision process and the influence of cultural conditioning on the creation of meaning in translation.

The article highlights several cognitive, psychological, and linguistic issues, reflecting the problems of the Russian language acquisition by the foreign students in the natural environment. The study is based on modern interpretations of language contacts and the specifics of intercultural communication, multilingualism, and communication studies. The study uses the techniques of a psycholinguistic experiment, a sociolinguistic survey, lexico-semantic and contextual analysis techniques, as well as various approaches to describing speech mistakes because of interlanguage interference. The material for the article was the data of the foreign informants' written survey in the multilingual environment of the host region. In the bilingual Russian-English questionnaire, it was required to justify the choice of the country, the university of study, difficulties in completing educational programs. The survey involved the foreigners who are at different stages of the Russian language acquisition. The main objective of the study was to establish the leading channels of the Russian language perception and to describe the interfering influence of the native languages and dialects of the Hindus, as well as international English, on the language of the host country acquisition. On the text fragments and individual statements, the directions of interlanguage interference were shown, its leading types were identified – phonetic, phonemic, grapheme, morphological and lexical. The role of the English language as an intermediary in the process of the new language acquisition has been established. The performed analysis confirmed the leading position in the sensory system of the auditory perception channel, prevailing over visual perception. There is a tendency to contamination of written and oral speech, compression, and the use of abbreviations; interlanguage interference at the semantic-cognitive, phonetic, phonemic, grapheme, phonemic-grapheme, morphological and lexical levels of the native languages and partially English. The strategy of using Internet translation and literal translation from English into Russian, represented as the author’s text in Russian, is determined. The survey showed that at an advanced level of the Russian language proficiency, the most problematic is the semantic differentiation of single-root lexemes formed prefixally.

Emerging research presents divergent perspectives on the efficacy of prehabilitation for patients scheduled for surgery due to upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, capturing the attention of both the scientific community and surgical professionals. This quantitative comparative analysis seeks to assess the association of prehabilitation to ameliorate postoperative outcomes in individuals with upper GI cancers, thereby providing a comprehensive evaluation of its potential benefits within a surgical context. Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science were searched up to February 2024. Studies reporting the association between prehabilitation, and postoperative complications, readmissions or other outcomes of interest were included. Fixed or random effect models were used, and forest plots were applied to show the results of the quantitative comparative analysis. A total of 198 studies were initially screened based on titles and abstracts, with 129 studies subsequently excluded. Overall, 69 full-text studies were identified, of which 12 studies were finally included for qualitative analysis in the quantitative comparative analysis after determining whether the inclusion and exclusion criteria were met. The pooled results indicated that prehabilitation significantly reduced the overall postoperative complication rates in patients with upper GI cancer undergoing surgical therapy with the pooled OR of 0.59 (95%CI: 0.39-0.88). Moreover, prehabilitation was also shown to be a protective factor of pulmonary complications (OR: 0.54, 95%CI: 0.36-0.80) and ICU readmissions (OR: 0.23, 95%CI: 0.06-0.89). The correlation between prehabilitation and a reduction in overall postoperative complications, pulmonary complications, and ICU readmissions among patients with upper GI cancer is substantiated by significant data. This pivotal finding necessitates further empirical investigation to validate these initial results and ascertain the clinical efficacy of prehabilitation protocols, thereby informing future surgical practice strategies.
