THE ROLE OF TRANSLATION ANALYSIS IN TEACHING POETRY TRANSLATION

Abstract

This article focuses on the role of translation analysis and its use in the learning of poetry translation in the education of translators. A future translator needs not only to learn how to translate a text correctly from one language to another, but also to understand the whole process of implementing the task. This is a necessary factor because translating poetry is one of the most difficult types of translation. The aim of our study is to identify and establish the role of translation analysis in the translation of poetic works, and to elaborate methodological guidelines for its use in classes to teach poetry translation. The author considers the problems of translation of poetic works and provides a theoretical basis for translation analysis. As a consequence, the article highlights the positions of different Russian academics on the concept of “translation analysis” and provides a gradual analysis of the phases of the process. From these findings, it was concluded that translation analysis is important and necessary for translating any kind of poetic text, and a suggested list of recommendations for working with a foreign text step by step using translation analysis was drawn up.
