Andreeva E.D. STRATEGIES OF TRANSLATING LINGUISTIC MEANS IN “STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS” TEXTSThe “Stream-of-Consciousness” technique, developed in the modernist literature period, is an irrational monologue, characterized by absence of a clear narration structure and chronological links between the events, as well as by violation of cause-and-effect relations, implication of events, unknown to the reader, mixing and shifting of timeline. The authors of “Stream-of-Consciousness” novels try to render a continuous flow of thoughts of characters by use of verbal means. This results in illogicalness, subjectivity, time-frame violation and the absence of a clear focus of thought. The strategy chosen for translating such novels should satisfy the need of preserving “Stream-of-Consciousness” peculiarities in the translation. Our analysis shows that two major strategies translators choose for translation of “Stream-of-Consciousness” novels by Virginia Woolf are the strategy of form, aimed at rendering formal structure peculiarities of the text, and the strategy of meaning, aimed at adequate reproduction of text meaning. The strategy of meaning is relevant for the translation of such literary devices as onomatopoeia and inversion, while the strategy of form is realized in the translation of aposiopesis and free indirect speech. Translation of expressive vocabulary, parenthesis, repetition, detachment and parallelism requires the combination of the strategy of form and the strategy of meaning, which allows preserving both functional and formal peculiarities of these devices. The application of both the strategy of form and the strategy of meaning makes it possible to reflect all stylistic, language and punctuation means of the original text in the translation, which provides the proper aesthetic impact on the reader.Key words: literary translation, translation strategy, “stream-of-consciousness” technique, modernism, translation tactics.
