Modeling as a basis for constructive-critical analysis of literary translation (on the basis of German translations of A.P. Chekhov's stories)

Gorbachevskaya Svetlana Ivanovna, Merkish Tatiana Alekseevna

The article discusses one of the possible models of constructive-critical analysis of the translation of short stories developed by the authors, which is tested on the material of published German translations of A.P. Chekhov’s stories. The proposed conceptual-interpretative model is pragmatically oriented towards the disclosure of the three main categories of this genre in the context of a comparative translation analysis – the author, the chronotope and the dynamics.
