Abstract
At the present stage of development of translatology, it is important
to consider various theoretical issues through the prism of
pragmatics. According to the definition, pragmatics studies the relationship
of linguistic units denoting reality to the one who uses
them (the author). Respectively, a work of fiction is an expression
of a certain attitude of the author to reality and to himself, and this
expression of the author is aimed at achieving a certain effect on
the reader. The ability to produce a certain communicative effect, to carry out pragmatic effects on the receptor, is formed as a result
of the author’s choice of the content of the message and the way of
its expression by linguistic means. It is obvious that the pragmatic
potential of a literary text is not something unified, monolithic, but
consists of a certain set of text elements, which in their sum, according
to the author’s intention, begin to influence the reader.
The pragmatic potential of Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel “The Master
and Margarita” is undoubtedly enormous. At the same time, it is
still possible to single out the main intentions of the author, which
are leading in the work. And one of the central places in the novel
is the comic, therefore it is extremely important that the pragmatic
elements of the text containing the comic component are adequately
conveyed in the translation text, since the distortion of pragmatic
intentions leads both to a misunderstanding of individual situations
and to the leveling of the author himself, i.e. to reducing the value of
the translation as a whole.
When creating a literary text, the author relies on national,
cultural and historical traditions developed by society. When translated,
the text “is transposed not only into another language system,
but also into the system of another culture”. This means that the
translation of a work of fiction is not just a re-expression of one work
by means of another language, but also an understanding of the
specific features of the culture of the original language, an understanding
of the meaning of the significant semantic components of
the novel and, finally, their reflection by means of another language.
Based on this, it seems very important to consider the translation of
the comic elements of the novel by M.A. Bulgakov “The Master and
Margarita”, since this will allow, to some extent, to determine the
degree of adequacy of the Georgian translation to the original, highlight
those elements of the comic, which are the most difficult for
translation, as well as to draw a conclusion about how the possible
objective loss of some pragmatic potential of the original affects the
overall value of the translation.
The report examines the results of a study on a comparative description of the system of communicative-pragmatic means of
creating a comic effect in the original work of M.A. Bulgakov’s “The
Master and Margarita” and the text of its translation into Georgian.
For practical analysis, 100 examples were selected from the original
text - elements containing a comic component - and the corresponding
passages of the translated text. The criterion for the selection of
these examples was the presence in them of some comic content,
regardless of what type of comic it belongs to (funny, irony, humor,
sarcasm). The collected material was divided into several parts in
accordance with the types of comic: antitheses, illogisms, clichés,
comic position, irony (witty comments by the author), an unusual
combination of words, wordplay and so on. The purpose of the analysis
is to establish the adequacy of the elements of the comic in
the original text to the corresponding elements in the translation.
Consideration of examples is carried out on the basis of lexical and
semantic analysis. The ratio of adequately translated examples to
inadequate ones is presented in quantitative terms.
The analysis showed that the most difficult to translate are
elements bearing a bright national color, peculiar types of lacunae,
i.e. units of a language that do not have direct equivalents in a foreign
language. Hence the objective impossibility of conveying those
components of the comic, in which these gaps are carriers of comic.
