Structural and grammatical peculiarities of translation of Quranic realities

the article deals with grammatical peculiarities of Quranic realia transmission in the Russian translation of the Quran made by I.Yu. Krachkovsky. The analysis is carried out within the framework of the structural approach with a focus on the grammatical representation of religious and cultural concepts that have no exact equivalents in the target language. The main types of realia are distinguished: nominative, idafic, masdar and verbal. Special attention is paid to the mechanisms of particle and syntactic transformations compensating for interlingual differences. It is established that the translator preserves the grammatical structure of the original within the norms of the Russian language, resorting to descriptive and adaptive means to ensure pragmatic and semantic equivalence of sacred concepts.
