PRESERVATION OF THE LINGUOCULTURAL CODE IN TRANSLATION OF MEMOIRS

Abstract

This article explores linguistic and cultural codes as comprising symbolic meanings and procedural schemes that shape understanding and expression. These codes include fixed and variable linguistic units, forming structural and semantic patterns reflecting personal thinking. They underpin artistic and literary expressions, modeling cognitive, semiotic, and linguistic perspectives. The study discusses N. I. Zhinkina’s “subject-schematic” code, transforming thoughts into verbal expressions, and Ch. Fillmore’s frame theory, linking words to knowledge structures. It emphasizes the development of conceptual and mental spaces through language and culture, highlighting their roles in organizing knowledge and facilitating communication.
