Dealing with Non-equivalence: A Case of Rendering Latvian Ethnographic Lexis in English Translation

Abstract

The significance of the study lies in the necessity to help translators approach and render culture-specific discourse containing a vast variety of realia based on cultural, dialectal, ethnographic, and etymologically charged elements. The present publication is devoted to the issue of rendering non-equivalent culture-specific ethnographic and dialectal lexis related to the Latvian traditional bread-making sphere in order to ensure translation that provides readers with an opportunity to embrace Latvian traditional way of life.
