https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2024-2-1461
Abstract
Aim. To analyze prepositional-nominal collocations built according to the structural model "article noun + preposition de + zero article noun" in French and identify the equivalents of the translation of this model into Spanish and Russian.
Methodology. By means of continuous sampling method, the authors considered over 200 examples – phrases from French works and their translations into Spanish and Russian. Functional analysis of language units was used to process the received material in the study. Contrasting analysis of prepositional collocations with the structural model of OAN1deØN2 was carried out using descriptive and comparative research methods. The transformation method was used to identify ways to transform and redistribute language elements.
Results. The analysis showed that when translating from French, the use of a particular structural model of the prepositional-nominal phrase in Spanish and Russian depends in each specific case on the lexical content of the prepositional-nominal phrase and on the meaning of the entire context.
Research implications. The results obtained contribute to the development of communication theory, expand the existing knowledge in the field of article and phrase theory, in particular, the features of the use of the article in a prepositional-nominal phrase with a definitive relationship between the components of this phrase.
