THE ROLE OF CULTURE-SPECIFIC VOCABULARY IN SHAPING THE NATIONAL COLOURING OF THE NOVEL JANE EYRE AND ITS TRANSLATION FEATURES
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article examines culture-specific vocabulary as a key means of shaping national colouring in the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and analyzes the peculiarities of its translation. The study focuses on lexical units reflecting social, religious, and institutional realities of Victorian England. Using lexico-semantic and comparative analysis, the research identifies the main translation strategies and transformations applied in rendering the cultural specificity of the source text. The findings indicate that the preservation of national colouring largely depends on maintaining a balance between cultural adaptation and the retention of foreign cultural elements.
