Կախարդական իրերի անվանումների թարգմանության խնդիրը «Հարրի Փոթերը և փիլիսոփայական քարը» վեպի հայերեն թարգմանվածքում

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the problem of equivalence in the translation of one of the classes of author neologisms, specifically, the names of magical objects in “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”. The 237 challenges of proper transfer of the semantic-pragmatic peculiarities of neologisms are observed based on the comparative analysis of the two Armenian translations of the novel. In specific cases, other, more preferable versions of translation are suggested. The results of the research show that from the point of view of transferring the author's intention and message underlying the creation of the neologisms and evoking the appropriate associations in the reader, calque proves to be the most effective translation procedure.
