Factors of violation of word order during translation from Russian into Chinese

Lu Chi

The article considers the key factors influencing the word order when translating from Russian into Chinese. Three factors were identified: grammatical (accounting for differences in the grammatical structure of two languages, one of which is a synthetic inflectional type, and the second is analytical); semantic (taking into account cultural differences, different perceptions of space and time by Russians and Chinese, causal relationships); stylistic (the influence of an unsuccessful word order on the artistic and aesthetic level of translation).

Keywords:translation, word order, grammar, semantics, stylistics, Russian language, Chinese language.
