Semantic isotopy of phraseologized film dialogue as a way of its interpretation and translation

the research into the semantic isotopy is based on speech segments of film text. The formation of isotopic relations, that is, the semantic proximity and similarity of dialogue components, can be facilitated by the linguo-creative character of the artistic language. Thus, the juxtaposition of the primary nomination units and those of the secondary nomination – idioms/ phraseological units, proverbial expressions – builds up a cumulative effect. The semantic oscillation between the direct and the figurative meanings can thereby result in a number of meaning-related contextual elements. So, the aim of the study is to find the identification methods which expose these components and state their isotopic relationship. This cognitive method contributes to surfacing implicit meanings, providing interpretive depth and integrity of the analyzed material, which in turn leads to achieving a practical goal – the equivalence of translation.
