TY - JOUR AU - Bondarenko Y. V. , PY - 2020/04/03 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Bondarenko Y. V. The poet’s possible worlds in translation (featured by J. Brodsky’s poems) JF - Philological Treatises JA - PT VL - 7 IS - 1 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://tractatus.sumdu.edu.ua/index.php/journal/article/view/363 SP - 12-19 AB - <p>The article focuses on the linguistic cognitive potential of possible worlds theory in translation studies. Its<br>cognitive underpinning is the tenet stating the ability of human consciousness to construe the world models<br>(contingent situations) according to his/heridea of certain phenomena and their relationships, which may or may<br>not correspond to the state of things in the real world. In terms of linguistic cognitive method, state of things in a<br>possible world is a script (scenario) defined as a set of linearly subsequent conceptual terminals containing<br>propositional clusters. Translation viewed as a cognitive process, the methodology is applied to the analysis of the<br>Russian language J. Brodsky’s poetry translated in English by the author himself. Modal operators and<br>practically identical script structures of the original and translation possible worlds have been singled out.<br>Variations stipulated by either linguistic norms of the language or cultural-historical reasons have been observed<br>within the clusters of the concepts (variables) propositional relations.</p> ER -
