religious discourse, prayer, author-composed prayer, Jane Austen, typological dominant of the text, literary translationAbstract
The article examines Jane Austen’s prayers. Using semantic and contextual analyses, the study identifies linguistic (explicit) and extralinguistic (implicit) features that mark these texts as religious. These features function as typological dominants and form a cohesive system of correlations, distinguishing author-composed prayers as a distinct genre at the intersection of both prose and poetry. Thus the translation of Austen’s prayers requires a special approach aimed at conveying all their implicit and explicit characteristics and ensuring that the author’s message is accessible to a reader with a different cultural background.
