Some practice in translation

41

	Original Metonymies and their Translation	The rendering of Metonymy is not always easy because of differences in usage. The metonymies are hardly possible in Russian. The addition of a concrete word is prompted by the macro context, but the Stylistic effect is certainly lost in translation. What is permissible and possible in our language is impossible in another. Still there are cases when the norms of the Russian language permit the use of Original Metonymies.	42
	Paraphrasing	Paraphrasing implies rendering the content of the utterance by different semantic and grammatical units. This type of transformation is especially common in translating orders, commands, clichés and phraseological fusions but it is used in other cases, as well. When all other kinds of lexical and grammatical transformations fail, Paraphrasing becomes indispensable.	148
	Partial correspondence	There is only partial correspondence in the structures of poly-semantic words as their lexical semantic variants do not cover one another. Semantic correlation is not to be interpreted as semantic identity and one-to-one correspondence between the semantic structures of correlated poly-semantic words in the 2 languages is hardly ever possible. Such partial correspondence may be illustrated by the following analysis of the correlated words стол and table. Their primary meanings denoting the same article of furniture are identical. But their secondary meanings diverge. Other lexical semantic variants of the word table are: 1. part of the machine-tool; 2. slab of wood – stone; 3. matter written on this; 4. level area, plateau; 4. palm of hand, indicating character of fortune, etc. Lexical semantic variants of the word стол are: 1. еда, пища – стол и квартира, диетический стол; 2. учреждение, отдел в канцелярии – паспортный стол, стол находок etc.
