Abstract

The article examines English metaphorical nominal quantifiers and the peculiarities of their translation into Ukrainian, in terms of the role of these lexemes in expressing indefinite quantity and conveying expressive-evaluative meaning. The research highlights collocational constraints and semantic shifts in ‘Noun of Noun’ constructions. A comparative analysis of English originals and Ukrainian translations reveals translation methods employed while rendering them, as well as grammatical divergences that can occur in the target text.
