Some theoretical models of the translation of lacunar vocabulary (based on the translation of ethnographic lacunae from the Kyrgyz language into Russian)

This article deals with issues related to one of the key issues in the theory of translation. In particular, on the example of specific language illustrations, theoretical developments, models for translating lacunar vocabulary, namely ethnographic lacunae, which reflect cultural-specific concepts related to various aspects and manifestations of the spiritual and material culture of certain peoples, were considered. And also, on the example of relevant fragments from works of art and scientific works, a number of theoretical models for the translation of non-equivalent vocabulary, including ethnographic lacunae, are analyzed. As the most common techniques, such techniques as descriptive (explanatory) translation and the creation of analogue correspondences were considered, which are actively used in the transformational theory of translation as an effective model in recreating both the semantic and pragmatic components of the original.
