Stylistic Functionality of Realias in English Translation Texts
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Realias used in English-language translated literature express ideas about the national-ethnic and social life of the people to which they belong, and also express stylistic functionality. In artistic examples, stylistic functionality is uniquely expressed with the participation of onomastic realias, realias denoting city, street and other names, ethnic and professional-economic concepts. The stylistic functionality of onomastic realias is especially clearly reflected in female or male personal names. The use of names belonging to the source language in translated literature creates in the reader a new impression of the anthroponomy of the folk language, along with anthropomorphic thinking. For example, names such as Louise, Christina, Luna, Annabelle for women, John, Martin, Gerald for men seem typical from the point of view of creating some kind of ethnocultural concept in the imagination of other peoples. In the same way, translated literature uses the names of streets, cities, towns, and these names create a kind of exotic idea of the country to which they belong. In translated fiction, many words are used that relate to people and ethnic groups and are of a realistic nature. Such realities create in the reader a new understanding of ethnic names against the background of the events described. Thus, in English-language literature translated into Azerbaijani, many realities are used, in their general understanding the picture of a broad idea of countries, peoples, and ethnic groups is enlivened.
