The Differences in Translation of Russian Verbal Aspects from Russian to Turkish
Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi Dil ve Tarih-Coğrafya Fakültesi Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 57, Issue 2
Abstract
The structural differences in the grammar system of Russian and Turkish, which belong to different linguistic families, appear most strongly in aspect and tense categories of both languages. The comparative studies provide the basic support for a better understanding of the systematic features of languages, which show structural differences. The aim of this paper is to show the use of aspect category in Russian, which is not as clearly present in Turkish as a morphological form as it is in Russian, how it can be translated into Turkish and the difficulties or dilemmas encountered in this process. Russian aspect category is the speaker's way of describing and evaluating what he/she saw subjectively, in other words, it is a way of depicting events witnessed from his/her own perspective. In a sense, it also transfers a specific linguistic world view. In that respect, although infinitive verbs belong to two different types in Russian, this is a feature which becomes more obvious in verb conjugation. In this sense, “vid” represents an internal meaning, which is more likely to be seen in suffixes, rather than in the infinitive form. In Turkish however – unlike in Russian - aspect is not present as a grammar category. The difference in terms of tense category between the two languages brings along certain translation difficulties. In this study, the issue of how aspect category is transferred within the framework of tense category in Russian and Turkish will be examined comparatively.
