Kruglov Vladislav Vladislavovich

The article deals with the issues of adequate and equivalent translation of political speeches of Chinese President Xi Jinping, precisely the fragments with the phraseological expression "consistently, steadily". The source of the research is the two-volume official publication "Xi Jinping. The Governance of China". The author gives extended translation commentaries, where special attention is paid to the interpretation of chengyu from the I Ching tradition. The closest context of chengyu was also glossed, its syntactic function and meaning deformation were explained in detail, as a result it was possible to determine the peculiarities of syntactic roles of phraseological expressions in modern socio-political discourse. The structure of the analysis proposed by the author seems to be of significance in both theoretical and practical dimensions.
