PATTERNS OF GRAMMATICAL CHANGE IN THE ENGLISH-RUSSIAN TRANSLATION OF “THEY CAME TO BAGHDAD” BY AGATHA CHRISTIE
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article explores the complexities of grammatical restructuring in literary translation, focusing on Agatha Christie’s novel *They Came to Baghdad*. By examining various grammatical transformations—such as replacements of parts of speech, tense shifts, and syntactic restructuring—the study demonstrates how these techniques are essential for achieving naturalness in the target language. The analysis highlights that translation is a creative process of bridging linguistic differences to preserve the authorial intent and narrative flow.
