Abstract
World globalization and integration processes have given rise to new research in intercultural communication, particularly in the fields of applied linguistics and translation. Social status is a category inherent in any social human being. Therefore, understanding social status with its characteristics and functions in society, language and discourse in the context of cross-culturalism is crucial to further studies of how it is conveyed in translation. The article is aimed at highlighting the translation tactics in reproducing social status markers in the descriptions of furniture in Ukrainian translations of the XIX century English fiction within the anthropocentric approach of the cognitive-discursive paradigm of linguistics. It employs a complex approach to exploring the ways of reproducing social status markers in the translation of fiction. The present study defines social status as a complex sociolinguistic and interdisciplinary notion which indicates the legal position or rank of a person or group in a social system. It has clear-cut distinguishing features and is expressed through speech, lifestyle and non-verbal communication of literary characters. Markers of social status are defined as the means to indicate the social status of a person, either real or fictional. These markers are varied in form and nature and grouped according to the forms of their expression in characters’ speech, their lifestyles and non-verbal communication. The ways of indicating status in the descriptions of furniture are compared in the source and target languages, and the challenges of rendering status markers are outlined. The translation tactics used in the Ukrainian translations under consideration are analyzed from the viewpoint of formal and dynamic equivalence, with the widest-used ones defined by their percentage ratio.
