Առածների և ասացվածքների սերվանտեսյան «խմբագրումները» բնագրում և դրանց հայերեն թարգմանությունները

Abstract

The article focuses on the proverbs and sayings ‘edited’ by Cervantes. Using the technique of occasional calque the author made the ideas sharper and more objective giving a new sense and connotation to the text. Armenian translators A. Ghazaryan (indirect translation) and V. Sargsyan (literary translation) mostly succeeded in their translations and managed to present the Armenian reader with the appropriate versions of the ‘editings’ by Cervantes. However, in case there was no equivalent of the proverb or saying, both translators made occasional mistakes, thus, distorting the main idea of the proverbs and sayings.
