GENDER PECULIARITIES OF THE TRANSLATIONS OF JOAN ROWLING’S NOVEL “HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE” IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The paper focuses on exposing gender peculiarities of literary translations of the book ‘Harry Potter and the Pholosopher’s Stone” that was written by Joan Rowling. The literary translation like no other type of translation gives the translator the opportunity to express their linguistic identity at most. Instinctively a translator in the process of his or her translation uses some language means that are typical for their gender. Studying gender peculiarities manifestation at different language levels allows developing and describing the connection between thinking and gender, gender and language, which favours the cognition of a person through the prism of the language.
