Lermontov: “Alien” Text and Word-for-Word Translation Kuralay B. Urazayeva* Eurasian National University 2 Satpayev Str., Astana, 010008, Kazakhstan Received 13.01.2016, received in revised form 27.02.2016, accepted 04.04.2016 In Kazakh translations of M. Yu. Lermontov’s works in the 80-90-s, the combination of precise and free translations is observed with prevailing exact ones. From the 20-30-s up to present days, the same works of the Russian classicist are the objects of word-for-word translation. The aim of this article is an intention to understand the reasons of prevailing word-for-word translations and to generalize wide-spread methods of its transfer. Non-randomness of prevailing word-for-word translation in the reviewed sphere is justified by the structure of the Kazakh language, correlation of the direct and indirect expressions in the translated text, relations of the significant with the signified. Such an approach allowed justifying the conception on word-for-word translation as an analytical one. Other repeated, stable methods of meanings transfer also attract attention in word-for-word translation. It is a subjective and depictive descriptiveness and such relations between the expression and the graphics as the system of label relations, traditional symbolic character of the Kazakh poetic language that stipulate the rhetorical textual figures. The results of the project can be applied in theory and practice of literary translation, history of literature.

  • The Role of Turkic and Islamic Factors for Current Kazakhstani Identity Formation
    Journal of Azerbaijani Studies 65 THE ROLE OF TURKIC AND ISLAMIC FACTORS FOR CURRENT KAZAKHSTANI IDENTITY FORMATION Timur Kozyrev (Kazakhstan) The Republic of Kazakhstan1 is a Central Asian state, currently performing in economic terms better than the rest of the CIS countries2, and embracing the model of a multi-ethnic, pluralist democracy. Kazakhstan is well-known in the CIS as relatively peaceful area of interethnic cooperation, significantly multicultural and rather tolerant of ethnic and religious differences [Kharitonova, 2006]. However, the issue of forming its new national identity is one of the most acute problems for the Republic of Kazakhstan which is currently harboring more than hundred of larger and smaller ethnic groups3 with rather different backgrounds – racial, religious and linguistic – most of them with distinctly national self-identities as the still persisting legacy of the Soviet nationalities‘ policy4. The newly independent Kazakhstani community is embarking to the struggle for a ‗wider identity‘ aiming 1 Kazakhstan is situated in Central Asia, deep in the Eurasian continent. Its territory is as large as 2,724,900 sq km (i.e. 1,049,150 sq miles). The territory of the Republic stretches on from the low reaches of the Volga in the West to the foothills of the Altai mountains in the East - for some 3,000 km ( a distance that spans two time zones), from West Siberian lowland in the North to the desert of Kyzylkum and the mountain range of Tien Shan in the South for some 2,000 km.
