ANALYSIS OF REPLACEMENTS IN TRANSLATION THE BOOK OF LOST NAMES BY KRISTIN HARMEL

Abstract

This article discusses the main types of grammatical transformations used in translation, with a focus on the novel The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel. It explores how translators adjust word categories and sentence structures to make the text sound natural in the target language. By analyzing specific examples from the book, the study shows that literal translation often fails to capture the author's intent. Instead, using techniques like parts of speech and sentence type replacement helps to bridge the gap between English and Russian, ensuring the translation remains fluid, readable, and stylistically accurate for the audience.
