The literary fairy tale Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
contains a lot of exclamations.
NON-DERIVATIVE AND IMITATIVE EXCLAMATIONS ARE THE EASIEST TO
REPRODUCE. THEY ARE USUALLY TRANSLATED BY V. MOROZOV WITH THE HELP
OF A DICTIONARY OR VARIANT EQUIVALENT. EXAMPLES OF THE USE OF FULL
EQUIVALENTS ARE THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES:
«OH, HOW HE LOVED THAT SMELL!» – «ОХ, ЯК ЖЕ ЙОМУ ПОДОБАВСЯ
ЦЕЙ ЗАПАХ!»; «AH-HA… THAT’S IT, YOU SEE…» – «АГА... ОТОЖ БО Й
ВОНО....» «SSSHH!» WHISPERED GRANDPA JOE, AND HE BECKONED
CHARLIE TO COME CLOSER – «ЦС!» — ПРОШЕПОТІВ ДІДУНЬ ДЖО Й
ЖЕСТОМ ПІДКЛИКАВ ЧАРЛІ ДО СЕБЕ «HEY, THERE! MIKE TEAVEE!»
SHOUTED MR WONKA. – «ГЕЙ, ТАМ! МАЙК ТІВІ! – КРИКНУВ МІСТЕР
ВОНКА».
 Example of
exclamations

THE ENGLISH AND UKRAINIAN LANGUAGES ARE CHARACTERIZED BY THE WORDS "HELL"
AND "DEVIL". IN ORDER TO SOFTEN THE MEANING AND FOR ETHICAL REASONS,
EUPHEMISMS ARE USED INSTEAD: "HECK", "DARN", "BLAZES", "FLAMING" AND OTHERS.
IN THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE, THEIR UNMITIGATED EQUIVALENTS, WHICH USUALLY
CONTAIN THE LEXEMES "ЧОРТ", "ДІДЬКО", "БІС", ARE MUCH LESS COMMON AND,
ACCORDINGLY, THEY HAVE A MUCH MORE REDUCED CONNOTATION. THESE EXAMPLES
OF EXCLAMATIONS ARE LESS FREQUENT IN THE TEXT, AS THEY CARRY A NEGATIVE
MEANING:
"OH, TO BLAZES WITH THAT!" SAID VIOLET – ОЙ,ТА НУ ЙОГО! – УРВАЛА ВІОЛЕТА."HE’S
TAKING A HECK OF A LONG TIME TO COME ACROSS, SAID MR TEAVEE”– “ДОВГО Ж ВІН
ДОБИРАЄТЬСЯ! – СКАЗАВ ПАН ТІВІ”.AS YOU CAN SEE, SUCH INTERJECTIONS ARE
SOMETIMES OMITTED, AND THEIR STYLISTIC EFFECT IS COMPENSATED FOR BY ADDING
SECONDARY ELEMENTS. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSLATOR CHANGED THE TYPE OF
SENTENCE PRESENTATION FROM NARRATIVE TO EXCLAMATORY.

 Conclusions

01
CHILDREN'S LITERATURE IS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF CHILDREN'S
EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT, CONTRIBUTING TO THE FORMATION OF THEIR
VALUES, MORAL PRINCIPLES AND IMAGINATION. ITS RELEVANCE LIES IN THE FACT
THAT IT NOT ONLY PROVIDES CHILDREN WITH ENTERTAINMENT, BUT ALSO
CONTRIBUTES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRITICAL THINKING AND SOCIAL SKILLS. IT
IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE ACCESSIBILITY AND DIVERSITY OF CHILDREN'S
LITERATURE TO STIMULATE INTEREST AND FOSTER CREATIVITY AMONG YOUNGER
GENERATIONS.
