TRANSFORMATION OF CODES AND RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS IN THE TRANSLATION OF DEN BRAUNN’S NOVEL “ORIGIN”

Abstract

This article analyzes the issue of the transformation of codes and religious symbols in the works of Den Braun's translations of the novel “Origin”. In the work, the semantic load of the contradiction between science and religion, symbolic signs, cryptographic codes, and cultural and religious signs is significant. In the translation process, the degree to which the cultural, semantic, and pragmatic layers of these codes and symbols are preserved or changed is studied. The research results show that in translation, religious symbols are often given through adaptation, explanatory translation, or equivalent substitution, while cryptographic codes strive to be preserved in a form as close as possible to the original.
