Приховані смисли власних імен як проблема перекладу (на матеріалі українських перекладів британської і американської літератури та відеоігор XX-XXI ст.)

Abstract

The object of this study is semantically transparent stylistic devices, such as the names with transparent semantics and wordplay in their interconnection.The subject of this paper is the impediments that a translator is likely to face in the process of translating them and the ways of minimizing those impediments. The ultimate purpose of this study is to establish the main impediments to conveying the implied meanings of proper names and homonymy-based wordplay in translation and analyze the positive and the negative sides of the various approaches to solving this problem by specifying the ways of minimizing losses.
