The Phenomenon of Transformation of Anthropomorthic Characters in Literary Translation

The paper deals with the phenomenon of anthropomorphism and considers the ways of interpreting anthropomorphic characters in the reality of literary texts. Literary anthropomorphic characters are being analyzed and studied upon in the context of literary translation studies. Some differences in the structure and functions of anthropomorphic characters are mentioned in the scientific research. The author comments on translators’ decisions concerning units and methods of translation. A detailed descriptive and comparative analysis of anthropomorphic concepts in two linguistic cultures is carried out. The phenomenon of transformation of anthropomorphic characters in translated texts is studied on the basis of contrastive linguistics. The research focuses on the linguistic and cultural characteristics of anthropomorphic concepts and ways of their interpreting in literary translation. Linguistic anthropomorphism plays an important role in the theory of translation and interpretation and in linguocultural studies.
