Cognitive-discursive instruments of analysing Ukrainian translations of English parodies

Abstract

The article presents the results of implementing the instrumental notions of the conceptual blending theory in the analysis of Ukrainian translations of English parodies. These instruments of analysis explain cognitive mechanisms ensuring recognisability of the original parody as well as the precedent text that is the source of the parody. Applying the instrumental notions of the conceptual blending theory builds the algorithm of analysis to avoid subjectivity.
