Topic: Charactonym

	Translation of Charactonyms from English into Russian
		Normally charactonyms are transcribed or transliterated but if their stems contain additional information of their bearer or even create in a literary work a system of its own their transcription deprives a foreign reader a lot of nuances and vividness of description.
		The three types of charactonyms identified in the source texts and their translations were divided into eight groups of translation equivalents, depending on the type of translation.
		By rendering the charactonyms of the target text closer to the source text the translator performs a poetic function that is also of high value.

	Proper Names in Translation of Fiction
		Charactonym (significant proper name) is a name expressing the characteristics of the bearer.
		Charactonyms may be rendered by means of transcription or transliteration as proper names are traditionally rendered, but in this case fictitious names lose the implication which they carry in the original.
		The indication of a charactonym is not only complete or partial resemblance with a word but the presence of the traits in the person or place.
