Metaphors in Translations of Russian Poetry of the Xix Century in the Tatar Language

Abstract

The article carries out a comparative study of the Tatar translations of the XIX-century Russian poetry, in particular, the poems of A. Pushkin, M. Lermontov, N. Nekrasov with the original texts for the analysis of metaphors. The translations were performed by the Tatar writers A. Iskhak, A. Yunus, M. Sadri, A. Faizi, A. Erikay and N. Arslanov. The choice of authors and their works is conditioned not only by their popularity, but also by the peculiarity of their literary language, the distinctive feature of which is the original descriptive and expressive means. The study analyzes the issues of the adequate embodiment of the metaphors of the poetry by A. Pushkin, M. Lermontov and N. Nekrasov in the Tatar language. The paper considers the problem of recreating the meaning of the original text with preservation of features of its form, which stands before the translators of the poetic text.
