STUDIES IN PHILOLOGY

O. K. Bavaeva. Translation features of the poetry (poems by David N. Kugultinov) — 32

In some cases the translators make use of pragmatic adaptation to fully express the poet’s ideas in the Russian language.
Keywords: Pragmatic adaptation, compensation, explication, equivalency, syntactical parallelism, amphibrach, transferred epithet

V. Z. Tserenov. On the origin and meaning of the name Djangar — 38
P. S. Pallas was the first who tried to determine an origin and a meaning of the name Djangar. Well-known Russian, Soviet and foreign researchers, from A. A. Bobrovnikov to others, suggested that this name originated from Persian title “djihanguir” — “conqueror of the world”. However, the image of Djangar includes religious and mythological beliefs of different epochs. The meaning of name relates with an ancient motif of orphan, alone hero. In opinion of the author of this article, the name ǰangγar ascends to proto-Turkic *jaŋɨŕ — “alone, single, only” and represents an example of early contact lexicon of Turkic and Mongolian languages.
Keywords: Djangar, Turkic languages, Mongolian languages, motif of orphan, alone hero
