The article studies the rational and emotional nature of the expressive means of language that form the basis for the comparative-stylistic analysis proposed by the outstanding Swiss linguist Charles Bally. Isolation, identification and the classification of expressive means of language aimed at determining the emotional component of speech are based on the method of comparison with the conceptual language of “pure ideas” reflecting peculiarities of the human psyche. The comparison may include languages united by a common psychological structure revealing the emotional side of language patterns that constitute the system due to the living language associations. The article also attempts to establish the origins of functionalism, which can be traced in the social aspects of language patterns that influence the parlance of a specific field as well as the functioning of language systems in similar situations of communication.

The article studies the influence of the literary circles phenomena on translation (a case study of Yelizaveta Zhadovskaya’s translation of Paradise Lost by John Milton). The first translation of the poem by Yelizaveta Zhadovskaya was made from Fyodor Zagorsky’s translation in prose which is considered as a great specimen of pragmatic translation: the translator, consciously changing the communicative effect of the original, sacrified the form for the meaning. Yelizaveta Zhadovskaya omitted significant parts of the poem that contained intertextual links, allusions to the works of Antiquity, mythology and sacred texts that formed the literal originality of the poem and added new fragments, thus acting as an author and paving the way for further poetic translations of John Milton’s Paradise Lost.

The article studies the influence of target language literature on translation (a case study of “Paradise lost” translation by archbishop Amvrosy (Serebrennikov) made in the late 18th century via the French translation by Nicolas-François Dupré de Saint-Maur that transformed the original in the spirit of belles infidèles). Amvrosy praised the beauty of the poem, transforming the translation in accordance with the French text, and altering the heterodox passages of the poem. The translation, approved by the clergy and being one of the most poetic prose translations, paved the way for further translations based on the original text.
