The article analyzes the concept “жүрек” (heart), objectified by anthropomorphic features, presented in the works of Abai Kunanbayev. The questions about the expression of the concept “heart” in the linguistic picture of the world, its translation was considered by linguists, however the degree of its equivalence was not deeply determined from the perspective of translation studies. In this regard, the scientific purpose of the research is to convey the concept “жүрек” (heart) from Kazakh into Russian, English through the examples analyzed in the article, the importance of revealing the degree of its equivalence.
During the discussion of the article, Abai’s works are considered as original texts, translations of the words of edification in Russian by S. Sanbayev, R. Seisenbayev and K. Serikbayeva, E. Zhumagul, texts in English by R. McKane, J. Burnside, S. Geoghegan are analysed. According to the translations of the poems S. Tleubayev, L. Ozerov, Yu. Kuznetsov, M. Dudin, M. Adibayev, etc. in Russian and English translation versions of T. Botting, O. Shartse, Z. Auezova, A. Issemberdiyeva, R. Kudabayeva are considered.
As a result of the research, the authors of the article state that, in addition to determining the degree of equivalence in the translation of Abai’s works, the study of poems of the author’s works directly translated from Kazakh-to-English goes beyond the step-by-step translation in Kazakh translation studies. The translation features of the concept “жүрек” (heart) studied in the article are carried out using the comparative method, and the analysis is made based on the equivalence theory of V.N. Komissarov. Abai is a world-famous person, there are sufficient number of translations of his works into Russian and English languages, however, clarifying the peculiarities of translation versions will make a great contribution to the field of Kazakh translation studies.
