SYNESTHETIC METAPHORS OF THE NOVEL “LOLITA” BY V. NABOKOV IN THE RUSSIAN SELF-TRANSLATION AND UKRAINIAN TRANSLATION BY P. TARASHCHUK

Abstract

The paper evaluates the ways of translation of the synesthetic metaphors found in the novel “Lolita” by V. Nabokov. It is proven that both English-Russian self-translation by V. Nabokov, as well as Russian-Ukrainian translation by P. Tarashchuk, sometimes fail to achieve entire adequacy in synesthetic metaphors’ rendering due to the difference in the translators’ worldviews.
