Abstract
Extensive research has been done in the sphere of translation strategies. A wide range of scholars (R.P. Zorivchak, M.O. Novykova, V.R. Savchyn, H.M. Kosiv, A.R. Vasylyk, I.M. Odrekhivska, N.M. Hrytsiv, O.V. Litviniak, H.V. Pekhnyk, I.V. Voinych, O.V. Yehorova, O.V. Marina, V.M. Ilyuhin, O.A. Mykhailenko) dealt with the idea of the methods and strategies of translation. Nevertheless, there is still no unified understanding of what is the translator‘s strategy since theorists tend to research and describe various translation strategies from their own perspectives. The notion of the translator’s strategy is studied in the framework of the communicative and pragmatic approach to translation at large. Deciding on which strategy to apply, not only does the translator have to reproduce the intrinsic structural and semantic features of a source text but also the communicative effects on the recipient and pragmatics of the original text. Working on “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by Mark Twain Iryna Steshenko was already an experienced translator. By that time she had established her own unique approach laying emphasis on lexical transformations, grammatically correct target text, meticulous target collocability, loss of phonetic markedness from the original and intense compensatory saturation of the translation with colloquial lexemes, idioms and sayings. The article is an attempt to analyze the translation of the individual properties of the main characters’ speech. Moreover it pursues the task of researching how the main ideas of the novel are represented via speech and whether Iryna Steshenko managed to render the overall pragmatics and communicative effect of this classic.
