MEANS OF RENDERING MENTAL IMAGERY OF ONTOLOGICAL CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS IN TRANSLATION

Abstract

The article outlines the main means of rendering mental images embodied in ontological conceptual metaphors from the source language into the target one. Each translation strategy is illustrated by an example comparing ontological metaphorical expressions taken from V. Woolf’s two novels “Mrs Dalloway” and “To the Lighthouse” with their Ukrainian, Russian, French, and Italian translation variants.
