Abstract

The paper examines the lexical means of rendering the concept “movement” in the Russian and Italian languages. On the basis of component analysis we found a number of differential semantic components as a mode of movement, its intensity, purpose, direction and others. The analysis demonstrates a series of differences between Russian and Italian lexical units on the level of semantic structure. It shows how Italian translator tries to find Italian words with meaning equivalent to Russian original.
