SOME CHALLENGES IN INTERPRETING LINGUOCULTURAL REALIA

Abstract

The interpretation of linguocultural realia presents a multifaceted challenge in the field of translation studies, particularly when dealing with English publicistic texts. These challenges stem from the inherent characteristics of realia – deeply rooted in specific cultural and linguistic contexts with no direct equivalents in other languages. As Baker notes, this complexity is not just linguistic but cultural, demanding translators to convey not only the words but the cultural ethos they represent.
