metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article studies interlingual and intercultural complications that arise in the translation of
  the classical Chinese poetry by comparing Russian versions with the Chinese poem Viewing
  the Waterfall at Lushan by Li Bai. The complex analysis covers such structural, typological,
  figurative, and cognitive aspects of the Chinese original as rhythm, rhyme, semantic, pragmatic,
  stylistic, and other features correlated with the Chinese culture and translatability into
  Russian to be perceived in the Russian cultural environment. We have chosen three most
  popular Russian translations by A. Gitovich, S. Toroptsev and K. Ismaev. The analysis is based
  on the following: the identification of phonic-semantic strategies in translation versions; the
  semiopsychological reconstruction of poetical realia at different levels of context; the evaluation
  of the degree of reproducibility for cultural constants according to their associative potential
  in both source and target cultures. The reconstruction of the source symbolism inherent
  in classical Chinese poetry (often with the use of educational commentary) is considered one
  of the main specific problems of poetic translation whose mission is to develop and enrich
  linguistic, literary, and cultural processes. Li Bai’s poetic original written in the Tang era presupposes
  an utmost number of associations to, probably, every word of this succinct quatrain
  with its historical, geographical, aesthetic, and religious background that may seem vague
  even to present-day Chinese readers, let alone present-day Russian readers. The three Russian
  versions of the Waterfall at Lushan distinctly show different translation approaches that determine
  different translation solutions and outcomes, resulting in the variability of the information
  perceived by the target audience.
