В статье рассматривается проблема сходства и различия русско- и англоязычного вариантов романа В. В. Набокова «Лолита». Актуальность исследования заключается в филологическом подходе к вопросу авторского перевода, а также в анализе художественного текста в разрезе двуязычной системы. Цель исследования — сравнить два варианта романа В. В. Набокова «Лолита», определить литературный и языковой материал, которым оперировал автор при написании оригинала, и оценить, соответствует ли русский текст оригиналу с точки зрения стилистики и поэтики. Рассматривается вопрос, зачем автору пришлось переводить роман на русский язык, определяется совместимость темы и языка романа с традициями русской культуры, через призму которой текст должен быть прочитан русскоязычным читателем. Предметом статьи являются языковые особенности двух текстов, а также литературная традиция, к которой обращается Владимир Набоков при создании романа. В результате исследования обоснована валентность русского текста внутри новой языковой среды и доказана необходимость текстологических трансформаций, к которым обратился автор при переводе, при этом автор «Лолиты» не просто перевел собственный текст на другой язык, которым он владеет на таком же совершенном уровне, как и английским, но создал абсолютно новый и оригинальный текст, основываясь на своем писательском и читательском опыте. Результаты исследования могут найти применение как филологами, так и лингвистами при работе с редкими образцами такого феномена, как авторский перевод. The article focuses on the differences between the Russian and English variants of V. V. Nabokov’s novel “Lolita”. The relevance of the research consists in the philological approach to the issue of the author-created translation of the novel and in the analysis of the text through the prisms of two different languages. The aim of the research is to compare the two variants of V. V. Nabokov’s novel “Lolita”, to analyze the literary and linguistic material employed by the author to create the original novel, and to assess whether the Russian translation equals the English original from the point of view of its stylistics and poetics. The article attempts to find out what made V. V. Nabokov translate his own novel into the Russian language. It also attempts to identify whether the subject matter of the novel and its language correlate with the traditions of the Russian culture which serves as a prism through which the Russian reader will see the text. The object of the article is the linguistic peculiarities of the two texts, and the literary tradition used by Vladimir Nabokov to create the novel. The research substantiates the valency of the Russian text within the new linguistic environment and proves the necessity of textological transformations used by Nabokov in the process of translation. The research maintains that the author of “Lolita” did not simply translate the original text into another language he knew equally well, but, relying on his writer’s and reader’s experience, created an absolutely new original text. The results of the research can be used by philologists and linguists for the purposes of analysis of such a rare phenomenon as author’s translation.

This article is devoted to the problem of using Russian time-prepositions by foreigners, especially by the Chinese. An analysis of modern literature allows the author to identify the main areas of the work aimed at foreign students’ development of the skills and abilities to correctly build the prepositional combinations and continuously improve the communication skills by means of the Russian language. In this paper, the time-prepositions in the Russian language have been analyzed in detail; some examples of polysemantic use of prepositions, their semantic and stylistic shades alongside with possible errors made by foreign students are presented. The results of the study are to help in developing a system of teaching Russian time-prepositions to a foreign language audience, taking into account their native language, on the basis of the systemic and functional, communicative and activity-centred basis. The role of Russian time-prepositions in constructing word combinations has been identified; the need for foreign students’ close attention to this secondary part of speech has been specified. It has been stated that prepositions are the most dynamic and open type of secondary language units within the quantitative and qualitative composition of which regular changes take place. The research substantiates the need that students should be aware of the function of time-preposition in speech; they are to get acquainted with the main time-prepositions and their meanings, to distinguish prepositions and other homonymous parts of speech as well as to learn stylistic shades of time-prepositions. Some recommendations related to the means of mastering time-prepositions have been given: to target speakers to assimilate modern literary norms and, therefore, to teach them how to choose and use them correctly by means of linguistic keys that are intended to fill the word with true meaning, to give it an organic structure, an inherent form and an easy combinability in the texts and oral speech.
