Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the ways of translating from Russian into Portuguese and vice versa the antithesis of one’s own and alien. If one’s own refers to the world organized around the self-speaker, then the concept of alien refers to the sphere denoted by the pronouns YOU or THEM. The article analyzes the transformations carried out during translation. The various meanings of the adjective alien are also investigated, which are translated into Portuguese with the help of alheio (a, para), estranho (a, para), outro. The hermeneutic method and general theoretical methods are used in the work: analysis and synthesis, analogy, classification and generalization.
