Analysis of translation methods into English of proper names in F.M. Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment" (based on the translation by K. Garnett)

the article is devoted to the topic of determining the optimal methods of conveying "speaking" names, taking into account their ideological and artistic function in the text. The purpose of the study is to identify the peculiarities of translating proper names into English in the literary text of F.M. Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment" and to determine the optimal methods of translating "speaking" names when transmitting ideological and artistic features of a literary work. The study of translation represents one of the most prominent areas in linguistic research, a prominence fueled by the necessity for communication across cultures and languages in a globalized society. Examining this subject allows for an understanding of the phenomenon's inherent principles and patterns of development, while also providing a foundation for determining translation strategies based on the textual significance of proper nouns. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time a comparative study of the equivalence of the source language onyms and their translation into English was carried out on the example of the translation of the text of the novel by F.M. Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment", performed by K. Garnett, which makes it possible to establish the dependence of the methods and techniques of translating onyms on their national-semantic specificity. As a result, optimal methods of translating anthroponyms into English in the text of the analyzed novel are determined.
