Translation of Emphatic Particles from Russian into English

[Charles E. Townsend]

Mr. Hayden and others,

Or if you look at the index of Russian words in my old-fashioned advanced Russian textbook, Continuing With Russian, I think you will find all of these words discussed pretty decently, with suggested translations; e.g.,  The key role of "small" words in really learning languages has always been a near obsession with me and I wrote some articles discussing these words (e.g., "On Small Words That Are Big Problems", Russian Language Journal, 1972).  In CWR, ведь is treated on pp. 175-176, да on p.155 and p.311, and жe on p.228.

Off the cuff I think Terence Wade’s Russian Grammar has a chapter on that topic.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Translation of Emphatic Particles from Russian into English

Dear SEELANGers,

Does anyone know of any articles, book chapters, etc. that discuss the various ways of translating ведь, уж, же, and да into English, or that compare emphatic constructions in the two languages?

Sincerely,

Brian Hayden
