How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article is devoted to the application of the statistical method in the analysis of variances in the process of translating Pushkin’s literary fairy tale into the Kazakh language. The results obtained allow us to develop recommendations for achieving translation authenticity and identify factors for the effective integration of another text into the receiving culture. Using the example of the analysis of the translation of A. Pushkin’s “The Tales of the Fisherman and the Fish” into the Kazakh language, A. Baitursynov shows the connection between the criteria of translation authenticity and the use of culture-oriented strategies — domestication, foreignization and estrangement. The role of the cultural grid is also revealed. Comparing the original and the translation, the significance of the laugh poetics and the paradoxical nature of Pushkin’s fairy tale, characterizing the method of the Russian writer, was substantiated. The use of a cross-cultural approach in combination with the statistical method revealed the role of the fairy tale as an object of cultural transfer and transcultural mission. To systematize the features of the literary specificity of a translated fairy tale as an object of ethno-translation, the main thing was the translator’s reproduction and analysis of the identity of the original. The generalization of translation derivations in a translated fairy tale is based on the study of lexical, grammatical, and sound levels that determined the menippean features of Pushkin’s fairy tale. The development of recommendations for the creation of accurate translations should take into account such signs of the literary specificity of Pushkin’s fairy tale as the relationship between the ratio of the plot (fabula), plot and genre, and the ways in which the author influences the addressee. The study of Baitursynov’s translations showed the successful solution of translation problems from these positions. The study of Baitursynov’s translations showed the successful solution of translation problems from these positions. The choice of translation and the connection between the purpose, strategy and result of translation showed the dominance of domestication and estrangement. The principles of domestication based on parody, linguistic and literary play and reliance on the phrase about the resources of the native language have shown. The authenticity of the Kazakh translation is shown through the estrangement as a factor of the author’s style. It has been proven that turning to statistical methods for processing the analysis of a literary work ensures the reliability of the results and the development of recommendations for achieving the authenticity of the translation.
