SYNTACTIC MEANS OF EXPRESSING EMOTIVITY IN AN ENGLISH LITERARY TEXT AND THEIR TRANSLATION INTO RUSSIAN
The article raises a problem of analysis of emotive means in a literary text, which is relevant for the modern linguistics. The purpose of the article is to study syntactic figures containing emotive components. In this article, the authors solve the following tasks: analysis of approaches to the definition of concepts "emotionality” and "emotivity”, consideration of modern classifications of syntactic means of expressing emotions in a literary text, identification of various means of conveying the emotional state of the characters of a biographical novel at the syntactic level and their translation into Russian. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the fact that for the first time a comparative analysis of construction features of three works of the novel-biography genre and their translation into Russian at the level of emotive syntax is carried out. The practical value of this study lies in the idea that observations and conclusions proposed in this paper can be used in the development of special courses on linguistics of a literary text, as well as in preparation of course programs and manuals for teaching translators to use various syntactic techniques in the process of translating literary texts from English into Russian. The authors of the study believe that this work will serve as reason for further study of the linguistic features of the biographical genre from the point of view of their emotive components, and will also contribute to the comparative theory of the syntax of various languages.
