VSCNU teachers presented research on the translation of children’s literature at an international conference

Ella Mintsis and Olga Kulchytska, lecturers at the Department of English Philology at Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National University, participated in the international scientific online conference “Multimodal Creativity in Translated Children’s Books”, dedicated to the study of multimodality in translated children’s literature.

The event was organized by the Stefan cel Mare University in Suceava (Romania) and the Alecu Russo State University in Balti (Moldova). The conference brought together scholars from different countries of the world, including France, Italy, Brazil, Egypt, Turkey, China and other countries. The participants discussed topical issues of children’s literature translation, the interaction of text and visual elements, as well as the impact of multimodality on the creation and perception of literary works.

Ella Mintsis and Olga Kulchytska presented a joint report “From Green Gables to Ukrainian Readers: A Linguostylistic and Visual Study of Anne of Green Gables in Translation” .

The study was devoted to the linguistic and stylistic features of the Ukrainian translation of the famous novel by the Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery and the role of visual components in shaping reader perception. The combination of linguistic and visual analysis made it possible to consider how linguistic means and illustrative design interact in the process of reproducing the artistic world of the work for the Ukrainian audience.

The participation of female teachers in the international conference contributes to the presentation of scientific developments of Carpathian University in the international academic space, the expansion of professional contacts and the development of research in the fields of translation studies, linguistics and stylistics, and children’s literature.
