LINGUISTIC AND ETHNOMENTAL SPECIFICS OF TRANSLATING THE OLD SOLAR LANGUAGE FROM C.S. LEWIS’S “SPACE TRILOGY”

Abstract

The article is dedicated to determining linguistic and ethnomental specifics of translating the Old Solar language HlabEribol-ef-Cordi from C. S. Lewis’s “Space Trilogy” into Ukrainian and Russian. Translator’s decision to transfer the artlang
from the Latin alphabet into the Cyrillic one is defined as the manifestation of domestication while the choice of transliteration as the main method of translation is regarded as foreignization. Harmonious combination of both strategies presents
an example of pragmatic golden mean.
