FEATURES OF TATAR- ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE "SHURALEH" POEM BY GABDULLA TUKAY

Abstract

Abstract. In this paper, the theoretical aspects of the translation of fiction and, in particular, of poetry were studied. Authors conducted an analysis of the practical experience of applying the theoretical approaches on the basis of the translation of Gabdulla Tukay poem "Shuraleh" translated from Tatar into English by Ravil Bukharaev. The following research methods were used while conducting the research: the analysis of G.Tukay's poem "Shuraleh" and its comparison with R. Bukharaev's translation into English, the analogy method used to compare the literary techniques used by Tukay and Bukharaev, a system method that allows studying the experience of translation of the poem "Shuraleh" as a whole, a hypothetical-deductive method for establishing the reasoning behind certain translations in the
analyzed material. After studying the transformations utilized by the author, we can conclude that the translator performed a great work researching the material and searching for the most optimal translation solutions, which, on the one hand, made the poem understandable to the English-speaking reader, and on the other hand preserved as much as possible the national flavor and aesthetic originality of the original. Ravil Bukharaev in his translation kept the rhythmic features of the original as much as possible, at the same time gently translating it into a more traditional chorus for the
European reader. The conducted research and practical work showed that further research work is needed in a number of areas: the study of the specifics of translating Tatar texts into English; continuation of the study of the correspondence between the styles of the Eastern and European poetic traditions and the study of cross-culture translation practice.
Keywords: Translation, translation of fiction, comparison of literary techniques, translation from Tatar into English, Gabdulla Tukay, Shuraleh, Ravil Bukharaev.
