Linguistic competency in literary translation: content and theoretical frameworks

Abstract

Language, as a description of the surrounding world, reflects a unique worldview for each language and its speakers. Being aware of both significant and minor differences between languages and cultures is especially important for humanities majors in general and foreign language teaching in particular.

Special attention and importance is given to the comprehensive study of foreign language and national culture in the literary translation process. As a system of linguistic and cultural values, it is valued as a factor that reveals the objective relationship between man, language and culture.

As we know, in the process of translating from one language to another, mastering the speakers of the language you are translating is of great importance. The article is devoted to the assimilation of the culture of the target language in the process of literary translation.

The sources in Azerbaijani, Russian, and English languages were used to write the article.
