Verbs of movement in a literary text in the Kabardino-Circassian language and some peculiarities of their translation into Russian

life is multifaceted, diverse and complex. A prerequisite for human existence, and more broadly for society and nature, is being in constant motion. Movement ensures viability and survival in a variety of situations and conditions. Movement is closely connected with space and time, which gives it special weight. It is quite natural that any human language tries to reflect the facts of movement, relying on its cultural, historical, traditional and linguistic principles. Sometimes they coincide or are close, sometimes they are far from each other - everything depends on the comparability of language systems and structures. It is no coincidence that the lexical-semantic category of verbs of movement (displacement) is presented in all languages and forms one of the most numerous groups. It should be noted that authors distinguish these groups and subgroups of verbs differently, but the seme of movement is always present in them. This paper analyzes the features of the functioning and translation into Russian of verbs of movement (displacement) from a work of art in the Kabardino-Circassian language. The following conclusions are made: 1. The diverse inventory of artistic means and the significant distance from the original in some cases makes comparison of texts or examples difficult or impossible. 2. Despite the fact that the analyzed languages are languages of different systems and structures, the route of movement is mainly marked in both languages; in the Kabardino-Circassian language such markers are directional and locative preverbs, in the Russian language – prefixes. The event of movement is actively oriented toward the figure – the subject of the event.
