«Особенности применения переводческих стратегий при переводе авторских неологизмов и окказионализмов в жанре научной фантастики (на материале романа-антиутопии Олдоса Хаксли «О дивный новый мир»)»
One of the most common problems faced by a translator of literary texts is the translation of author’s neologisms. One genre for which neologisms are particularly characteristic is science fiction. Authors of works in this genre often resort to creating "pseudo-terms" based on the models of terminological lexicon typical for the language of scientific (academic) prose.
The difficulty of translating such lexical units is that the translator needs to preserve the pragmatic intention of the original text in a situation where the lexeme has no actual denotative meaning.
This article deals with such translation strategies (lexical transformations) for the conveying of nonce words, such as loan translation, transliteration and transcription. In the course of the study, specific examples of the using of these transformations are analyzed.
The article is based on materials from the original dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley "Brave New World", as well as its Russian-language translations.
In addition to the study of lexical transformations, the article raises the question of determining the most common strategy for translating neologisms and nonce words in the science fiction genre.
