LINGUOCULTURAL INTERPRETATION OF MYTHOLOGICAL UNITS IN THE TRANSLATION OF THE EPIC "ALPOMISH"

This article analyzes the linguocultural features of mythological units found in the 
translation of the epic “Alpomish” and the ways they are rendered into English. The study 
examines the semantic and connotative characteristics of such Arabic-Islamic mythological 
units as “Lot,” “Manot,” “dev,” and “pari,” as well as the ethnographic unit “shopar.” 
Comparative-typological, semantic, and linguocultural methods of analysis were employed 
in the research.
