Abstract

This translation work is devoted to the rendering of the style of the Dark Academia into Ukrainian, using a significant part of Alexis Henderson’s contemporary Gothic novel An Academy for Liars as an example. The study is organized into two main analytical parts. A fragment of the source text is translated into Ukrainian in the first chapter. The main goal of this translation was to achieve artistic accuracy and semantic adequacy by carefully balancing the lyrical, introspective style of the novel with its elements of psychological horror, which are characteristic of the Dark Academia style. The second chapter serves as a full commentary on the translation, demonstrating the various strategies necessary to overcome the stylistic hybridity of the source text – the coexistence of intellectual competence and moral decay. This section provides an in-depth analysis of the translation procedures used to handle stylistic, syntactic, lexical, and pragmatic nuances, including the rendering of cultural realities (such as Anglo-American academic settings and social customs) and the maintenance of the source text's complex rhythm and psychological tone across different linguistic levels.
