FRENCH INTERJECTIONS AND ECHOISM, PECULIARITIES OF THEIR TRANSLATION (BY THE MATERIAL OF THE WORK BY R. GOSCINNY, JEAN-J. SEMPE “LITTLE NICHOLAS’ MISCHIEF” AND ITS TRANSLATIONS INTO THE RUSSIAN AND ITALIAN LANGUAGES)

Abstract

The article considers the notions “interjections” and “echoisms”, their types and the main differences. The study of these layers of vocabulary is done by the material of the book by R. Goscinny, Jean-J. Sempe “Little Nicholas’ Mischief” («Les bêtises du Petit Nicolas») and its translations into the Russian and Italian languages. The comparative analysis of the original and translations allows revealing some peculiarities of conveying interjections and echoisms and making interesting conclusions in a scientific sense. The article is provided with illustrative examples, confirming theoretic statements.
