Максим Рильський – теоретик і практик українського перекладу

Abstract

Maksym Rylsky as a theorist and expert of Ukrainian translation made his scholarly contribution into the development and gradual evolution of the main concepts of translation that are still highly topical today. Among the principles that he strongly adhered to in his practical translation experience one should mention creativity. The translation researcher also highlighted the importance of rendering the dominant idea, rhythm, tone and tune. Archaisms, neologisms, dialecticisms were depicted in the context of the major challenges any translator is bound to encounter. M. Rylsky is also known for his translations of librettos to operas and operettas of the world musical repertoire.
