Any natural language is a multilevel system in which all elements are interrelated and mutually conditioned. The stability of this system ensures intergenerational communication among people speaking the language. However, the language, like a living organism, is in constant development, one of the consequences of which is the replenishment of the vocabulary of the language with new words - borrowed from other languages or formed according to the derivational models existing in a given language. In this paper, a contrastive analysis of the Arabic and Russian languages is made. Since affixal, in particular prefixal word formation, is characteristic of both languages under consideration, we had enough grounds for a comparative study. Contrastive or comparative linguistics is one of the young branches of modern linguistics, its methods and techniques allow us to single out the common things that unite different languages and to emphasize the peculiarities peculiar to a particular language. Comparative studies are of great applied importance, they make a significant contribution to the methodology of teaching foreign languages, as well as to the theory and practice of translation studies. This study compares the word-formation systems of two diverse and differently structured languages - Russian and Arabic. Affixation is the dominant way of forming new words in both languages. In the course of the study we analyzed the ways of word formation in the two languages being compared and identified standard models of prefixal derivations. The methods of structural analysis, semantic analysis, descriptive and comparative methods were used in the work.
Chekhov is well known and perceived in Arab countries. His stories and plays are very popular. They translated it into Arabic by different translators from different languages of the world Many of his stories require new translation solutions to achieve partial, if not complete, equivalence. Chekhov's works are a very difficult subject to analyze and interpret, which is explained by the fact that Chekhov's collections are constantly republished in foreign languages. It is impossible to preserve in translation all the elements of the original text containing historical and national details but, of course, the reader should have the impression that they represent the historical and national situation. When translating, it makes sense to prese

Петрушевская – одна из знаковых фигур современной российской прозы, однако ее творчество недостаточно изучено, работ по проблематике и поэтике ее произведений мало в российском и мировом литературоведении. Представляется, что такое невнимание к творчеству писательницы не обоснованно. Изучение произведений Л. Петрушевской позволит понять, как преломляются традиции классической русской литературы в
... Show MoreThe paper examines key aspects of the use of phraseologi-cal units related to colors in Russian culture and speech. It explores their role in shaping cultural identity, reflecting national characteristics and men-tality. The study analyzes the frequency and contexts of the use of color-related phraseological units in contemporary speech, as well as the influ-ence of media and literature on their popularization. The author highlights the significance of phraseological units in preserving cultural heritage and fostering a deeper understanding of language and culture.
The translation of phraseological units is among the most challenging tasks in literary translation, as fixed expressions convey denotative, connotative, and cultural meanings that resist full equivalence. This study classifies the strategies employed in the Russian translation of Viola Ardone’s The Train of Children, drawing on the frameworks of Vinay and Darbelnet, Newmark, and Koller. Analysis of 37 idioms reveals five strategies, with phraseological equivalence prevailing, while compensation—though less frequent—emerges as stylistically most significant.
