Grammatical errors made by students when translating phraseological units from Russian into Chinese.

The article is devoted to the theoretical and applied research of the translation features in the "Russian – Chinese" language pair. Numerous studies in the field of Russian-Chinese translation, in particular, phraseological units, indicate the existence of significant difficulties faced by modern translation students. These difficulties include differences in the syntactic structure of sentences, the lack of grammatical categories of gender and number in Chinese, as well as specific features of the semantic structure of phraseological units. The subject of the study is the most characteristic types and features of grammatical errors made by students in the process of consistent translation of Russian phraseological units into Chinese. The purpose of the study is to identify the specifics of errors caused by the semantic, grammatical and structural characteristics of Russian phraseological units and their inconsistency with the grammatical norms of the Chinese language. This work uses an integrated approach that includes both qualitative and quantitative research methods, including: methods of theoretical and comparative analysis, classification, content analysis, as well as methods of questioning, observation and experimental research. As a result of this study, the following groups of errors were identified: errors in coordination; incorrect use of cases and tenses; problems with the translation of semantic and grammatical shades of phraseological units. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that these groups of grammatical errors were first considered in the context of the transmission of national cultural codes of the Russian language and their semantic, grammatical and structural implementation in the process of translating phraseological units in Chinese. The results of the research can be applied in educational practice to improve the quality of teaching Chinese, as well as to develop methodological manuals, books and monographs focused on the study of grammatical aspects of translating Russian phraseological units into Chinese.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the theoretical and applied research of the translation features in the "Russian – Chinese" language pair. Numerous studies in the field of Russian-Chinese translation, in particular, phraseological units, indicate the existence of significant difficulties faced by modern translation students. These difficulties include differences in the syntactic structure of sentences, the lack of grammatical categories of gender and number in Chinese, as well as specific features of the semantic structure of phraseological units. The subject of the study is the most characteristic types and features of grammatical errors made by students in the process of consistent translation of Russian phraseological units into Chinese. The purpose of the study is to identify the specifics of errors caused by the semantic, grammatical and structural characteristics of Russian phraseological units and their inconsistency with the grammatical norms of the Chinese language. This work uses an integrated approach that includes both qualitative and quantitative research methods, including: methods of theoretical and comparative analysis, classification, content analysis, as well as methods of questioning, observation and experimental research. As a result of this study, the following groups of errors were identified: errors in coordination; incorrect use of cases and tenses; problems with the translation of semantic and grammatical shades of phraseological units. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that these groups of grammatical errors were first considered in the context of the transmission of national cultural codes of the Russian language and their semantic, grammatical and structural implementation in the process of translating phraseological units in Chinese. The results of the research can be applied in educational practice to improve the quality of teaching Chinese, as well as to develop methodological manuals, books and monographs focused on the study of grammatical aspects of translating Russian phraseological units into Chinese.
