Graduation work My graduation work is devoted to the translation of fantasy. This genre is relatively new and there is no specific translation strategy, so I'm giong to try develop them. As for example I took "Harry Potter" by Joanne Rowling, because in the text there many dificcult things for the translation: colloquial speech, artistical ( literary) devices, descriptive names and surnames, spells and also realities of imaginary and real British culture. One of the main challenges is not only the selection or invention of equivalents in Russian, but also an attempt to keep the structure of the text, avoiding translation liberty. In the theoretical part of the work I'm going to examine and describe the lexical-semantic and structural-typological characteristics of the work and also a study of national cultural and linguistic characteristics of fantasy works and methods for theit translation into Russian.
