Synergy of Languages & Cultures 2021: Interdiscipilinary Studies
Svetlana Rubtsova, Ivan Grigoriev, Tatyana Dobrova, Elena Rokhlina, Nella Trofimova (eds). The collection of articles The Synergy of Languages and Cultures: Interdisciplinary 
Studies is a peer-reviewed scholarly publication that presents the results of the international conference held in September 2021. The conference was organized by the Faculty 
of Modern Languages of St Petersburg University. The collection includes papers from 
Russia, Japan, Belorussia, Italy, and Spain. The collection reflects the position of modern 
linguists on the development of traditional problems of language and cross-cultural communication, the role of translation in the context of globalization, extensive information 
exchange, and the interaction of languages and cultures. 
The collection may also attract the attention of researchers in intercultural communication, language methodology, particularly the methods of teaching foreign languages 
for special purposes, and of a wider audience interested in modern trends in these areas.

TRANSMITTING GRAMMATICAL MEANINGS 
OF CERTAIN GRAMMATICAL CATEGORIES IN 
TRANSLATION: MAJOR FEATURES
The translation is recognized to be the transfer of conceptual and pragmatic 
meaning of a text, while formal literalness can be sacrificed (using the linguistic means available in the target language to adequately express the content). 
The author considers the variative cases of grammatical lacunar units elimination in the translation of texts with an artistic orientation. The purpose of the 
article is to observe and describe the manifestation of grammatical lacunarity 
in literature prose texts in the language pair English — Russian and find the 
optimal ways for transmitting the author’s artistic intentions to other languages. Similarities and differences of equivalent categories in different languages 
are revealed by means of the comparative-typological method as a synchronic 
and fundamentally pragmatic method. Various literature sources, demonstrating grammatical lacunarity in written discourse are used as illustrative 
and study material. We analyse theoretical substantiation of grammatical lacunarity and show the ways of translating the patterns with void units. The 
problem solution required a comparison of the grammatical forms’ semantics, 
pragma-semantic analysis of translational correspondences, taking into account the equivalence degree. Cultural discourse patterns are possible to be 
translated without dropping any contextual pragmatic colouring by means of 
various translating strategies, but in this case, formal literalness will be sacrificed. The findings of the article can be implemented in teaching theoretical 
and practical linguistic courses.
Keywords: grammar, translation, grammatical categories, elimination, gender, 
number, temporality, intercultural communication.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ ПЕРЕДАЧИ ПРАГМАТИЧЕСКИХ ЗНАЧЕНИЙ 
ПРИ ПЕРЕВОДЕ ГРАММАТИЧЕСКИХ КАТЕГОРИЙ
Перевод является проводником концептуального и  прагматического 
смысла текста. В  то же время формальная буквальность может быть 
принесена в  жертву (использование языковых средств, доступных 
в языке перевода, для адекватного выражения содержания). Автор рас7

сматривает устранение различных грамматических лакун при переводе 
текстов художественной направленности. Цель статьи  — наблюдение 
за проявлением грамматической лакунарности в литературных прозаических текстах в языковой паре английский — русский, ее описание 
и  поиск оптимальных способов передачи художественных интенций 
автора на другие языки. Сходства и различия эквивалентных категорий 
в  разных языках выявляются с  помощью сравнительно-типологического метода как синхронного и принципиально прагматического. Различные литературные источники, демонстрирующие грамматическую 
лакунарность в письменном дискурсе, представлены в качестве иллюстративного материала исследования. Дано теоретическое обоснование 
грамматической лакунарности, представлены способы перевода структур с лакунарными единицами. Решение проблемы требует сопоставления семантики грамматических форм прагма-семантического анализа 
переводческих соответствий и  степени эквивалентности. Культурные 
дискурсивные модели возможно перевести без потери контекстуальной 
прагматической окраски, используя различные переводческие стратегии, но в этом случае в жертву будет принесена формальная буквальность. Выводы статьи могут быть применимы в преподавании теоретических и практических лингвистических курсов.
Ключевые слова: грамматика, перевод, грамматические категории, элиминация, гендер, число, темпоральность, межкультурная коммуникация.
Introduction
Foundations of the scientific theory of translation (and comparative 
linguistics) have been developed explicitly since the middle of the 20th 
century. Accepted only by this time, it became clear that translation as a 
type of speech activity is a full-fledged object of linguistics, doubts about 
the possibility of studying translation by linguistic methods have disappeared. Translation was treated as a particular type of speech activity, 
within which linguistic units of translation are selected depending on the 
linguistic units of the original. Specialists in translation began to study 
the correlation between the linguistic units of the original and translated 
texts. It was clear that investigations in the field of translation theory and 
practice give new information about the use of language as a means of 
intercultural communication, can identify the most usual ways of encoding thought means different structural languages, help in comprehension 
proper formal and internal, cognitive aspects of the text and discourse. It 
became evident that the excellence of translation depends on high competence in the systemic structure of the two languages and on comprehensive knowledge of the corresponding cultures of their ethnic communities. The theory of translation and contrastive grammar emphasises the 
8

general and the individual in mentality, in cultural and moral priorities, 
since only grammar obligatory in a language is considered extremely important in a particular lingual culture [Jespersen, 2002].
The main task of translation is actual communication, and grammatical lacunae should be investigated in this aspect whether different conceptions of lacunarities are acceptable in the translation field, for example, 
about the identification complexity determining lacunas due to the lack 
of a cultural element in the translation theory methodology. There is no 
complete correlation of the functional potential of even identical grammatical forms and categories in languages.
To be clear, a lacuna can be referred to when a cultural “code” is so 
distinctive that the “interlayer” of another culture is not achievable. The 
translation is impossible or only partially possible if the decoding sphere 
of the lingual culture associated with the translation does not include such 
semantic content, ensuring the element identification. In translation, the 
elimination of lacunas (de-lacunization) of a lacunized text can be interpreted as “decoding” the meanings of the units and then recoding them 
into the units of the target language, which are accompanied by elimination, de-lacunization. 
Materials and Methods
The comparative-typological method was used for detecting and 
studying interlingual correspondences (similarities and differences of 
equivalent categories in different languages). In contrast to comparative 
analysis, the comparative approach aims to analyse linguistic phenomena 
in synchronicity. The comparative method is known to be “fundamentally 
pragmatic”; it is aimed at specific applied and practical goals, which by no 
means removes the theoretical aspect of the consideration of its problems. 
The experiential material included various text fragments demonstrating 
lacunas’ cognitive, pragmatic, lingua-cultural parameters and their elimination. The sources were predominantly selected from the relevant literature: the classical British, American, German, and Russian literature of the 
20th–21st centuries. The choice is due to the presented patterns’ provision 
of a comprehensive understanding of the grammatical lacunarity in stable, pure, fixed national languages, without any linguistic deviations.
Discussion
Substandard units — slang, jargon, colloquialisms, phonetic deviations, which, in the presence of appropriate lacunar units in the recipient 
9

language, maybe irretrievably lost, have always been problematic for the 
translation process. In this case, the interpreter compensates for the missing elements of the linguistic system with the available units, often reconstructing and modifying the entire structure of the utterance. It is impossible to translate the dialectal turns in Jim’s speech in The Adventures of 
Huckleberry Finn into Russian because of the rich use of the AfricanAmerican dialect [Twain, 1984]: 
“Well, den, I reck’n I did dream it, Huck; but dog my cats ef it ain’t 
depowerfulest dream I ever see. En I hain’t ever had no dream b’fo’ dat’s 
tired me like dis one”
. 
It is somewhat distant from the Russian mentality due to the absence 
of this sociocultural component in the Russian mentality. The impression 
that Jim speaks in a normative literary version is also wrong: it would create a false impression of the character.
All sorts of conversions: substitutions, transpositions, omissions, and 
additions are an inseparable part of translation work. In general terms, a 
grammatical transformation is understood as a sentence transformation 
(changing its structure) and all kinds of replacements of both syntactic 
and morphological order. The most challenging class of transformations 
is grammatical since there are often no “net” analogues of grammatical 
forms and categories in this or that pair of languages. Moreover, even 
similar types are unequal in different languages. In addition, it is probably 
the use of communicatively irrelevant categories in the original text, the 
content of which cannot be conveyed in the translation and the forced 
use in the translation of classes absent in the original. The grammatical 
discrepancies in the two languages and the resulting inability to formally 
render the meaning of a particular grammatical form are constantly compensated for using various grammatical transformations. In addition, the 
translator is obliged not to miss the cases where a grammatical form is a 
stylistically significant phenomenon, the effect of which can be ruined by 
a specific interpretation.
T. B. Radbil [Radbil, 2010] reviewed the irregularities in the structures of A. Platonov, whose texts are characterised by superfluous (and 
figurative) characterisation of the action/state of an uninspired item. To 
make the translation sound “Platonovian” in English, the tense form Continuous can be used instead of the normative Simple. In normative usage, 
the English Present / Past Continuous Tense is used only to predicate a 
subject that can be considered limited in time (the usual Present / Past 
Indefinite Tense forms are not marked in this regard). That is to say, and 
even the “strange-languaged” Platonov may well be adequately presented
