LEXICAL AND GRAMMATICAL TRANSLATION TRANSFORMATIONS IN RENDERING COLLOQUIAL LEXIS IN MODERN ENGLISH FILM DISCOURSE

The article deals with the issues of lexical and grammatical translation peculiarities of colloquial lexis in modern English film discourse as a translation problem based on Ukrainian dubbing of films about Marvel superheroes. The starting point of the study is the fact that rendering English colloquial lexis into the Ukrainian language has a few peculiarities: namely, while choosing the correct variant the translator should take into account the pragmatic meaning of lexical unit. In other words, it’s important to find the colloquial unit in the translation language, which is not always easy. The difference between the two languages, their national and cultural peculiarities cause some translation transformations which take place in the process of rendering. The novelty of the study is proved by the complexity of translation of this very lexical layer of the vocabulary, which is one of the main components of lexical corpus of modern English and Ukrainian languages. One should also keep in mind that any language as a system of sound sighs appeared in a human society as a communicative means and was developing for a long time as a colloquial speech. The aim of the paper is to carry out lexical and grammatical translation transformations of colloquial lexis in modern English film discourse in Ukrainian dubbing of films about Marvel superheroes. It is defined that the most effective way of rendering English colloquial units is choosing their right functional variant, which represent their stylistic adequateness. From the functional perspective rendering colloquial lexis in English film discourse into Ukrainian is performed by means of translation transformations, special adaptations at lexical and grammatical language levels, which include antonymic translation, total rearrangement and compensation. It is proved that total rearrangement (16.7%) is the most frequently used for rendering slang, jargon, phrasal verbs and cursed words, the role of which is determined by the imagery and partial equivalence of such vocabulary.
