EXAMINATION OF THE TRANSLATION OF PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ATTRIBUTES IN "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" BY JANE AUSTEN
Abstract
This article examines the complex process of translating psycholinguistic attributes in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” Focusing on the novel’s nuanced depiction of interiority, irony, and free indirect discourse, the analysis explores the challenges of conveying character consciousness, socio-linguistic nuances, and implicit emotional subtext across linguistic and cultural boundaries. By comparing specific passages from the original English text with its translations, the study investigates how translators navigate Austen’s distinctive narrative voice and the cognitive-emotional layers of characters like Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. The findings aim to contribute to the broader discussion on literary translation, emphasizing the critical role of psycholinguistic sensitivity in preserving the novel’s enduring psychological depth and satirical brilliance.
