MODAL-EMOTIONAL SEMANTICS AS A PROBLEM OF LITERARY TRANSLATION

Abstract

The article has been devoted to the peculiarities and problems of reproduction of modal-emotional semantics. The study is urgent taking into consideration the position of the ambiguity of the phenomenon of modal-emotional semantics, and its representation in the literary text It should be emphasized that the translator faces the difficulty of reproducing an adequate translation of modal-emotional semantics, which can be achieved only under the condition of preserving the author’s content, observing the specifics of emotional vocabulary and using appropriate transformations of the text. The objective of the study is to research and analyse the specifics of modalemotional semantics throughout literary translation. To achieve this goal, the concepts of “emotionality”, “emotionality” and “expressiveness” were characterized, modality was defined as a semantic category, and modal-emotional semantics at different levels of language were considered. As a result of the study, the authors concluded that modality is a universal semantic category actualized by a number of linguistic means. During the analysis of the problem of modal-emotional semantics reproduction, we determined that in a general sense, linguists define the same content of modality with different terms, distinguishing, in addition to adjacent types, semantic types that are different from other classifications
