Linguistic and semiotic analysis of the source and target texts

Journal Title: HETEROGLOSSIA - STUDIA KULTUROZNAWCZO-FILOLOGICZNE - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue

Abstract

The present article describes basics of a linguistic and semiotic approach in translation studies, i.e., to the translation of the text in accordance with which the latter is regarded as a sign system structured though various semiotic codes. The article highlights that an interpretation of the code is believed to be an approach for both translation studies and semiotics proving efficiency of applying semiotic instrucments in translation of literary texts thereby. The paper suggests semiotic tools to be applied in translation in order to achive the establishment of relations of maximum equivalence degree between the original and translated texts. Also, an attempt is made to place emphasis on interpretations of author’s lexias carried out by a Russian translator. The analysis is made based on a famous fairy tale ‘The Jungle’ written by R. Kipling and its translation ‘Книга Джунглей’ made by Evgenia Mickalovna Chistyakova-Ware (nee Shakeeva), a Russian writer and translator (mainly for children) of the beginning of the twentieth century.
