metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article discusses the linguistic means of expressing politeness N. V. Gogol’s
  poem Dead Souls and the possibilities of their rendering in German translation
  suggested by F. Löbenstein in 1846. The poem features numerous communicative
  situations in which speakers strive to achieve their goals using various speech
  strategies determined by the social status and interpersonal relationships of the
  interlocutors. The novelty of the research lies in the consideration of the poem’s
  text of the translation precisely in regard to conveying various shades of polite
  treatment by Gogol’s contemporary. The introduction provides a brief overview of the
  scientific works that served as the theoretical basis for this article. They are devoted
  to politeness in Russian and German linguocultures, fiction and translation. Special
  attention is paid to addressing the interlocutor, speech etiquette formulas, the request
  and the apology. Discrepancies between the Russian and German versions resulting
  from the lack of equivalents in German are revealed. For example, the address barin
  ʻmasterʼ is translated as gnӓdiger Herr — milostivyy gosudar’ ʻdear sirʼ. In some cases
  differences in the German text can be considered a translator’s decision influenced by
  his perception of the plot and a nature of characters, which manifests in, for instance,
  using a different mood in translation or other means of expressing modality. The
  article describes some features of etiquette formulas inherent to the Russian-speaking
  culture of the 19th century and analyzes ways in which the means of expressing
  politeness are rendered in German translation as well as their appropriateness.
