Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the language means in the semantic implementation of the concept “Doer” in the translation of Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s “The Little Prince” on the material of the modern German language. We consider Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s fairy tale “The Little Prince” as a special literary genre. The main attention is paid to the description of the means of representation of the concept “Doer” on the material of German, French. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time the heroes who are presented in the work as figures are singled out, the means of their representation are identified, their belonging to the concept “Doer” is confirmed. As a result of the study, the features of the representation of the concept “Doer” in the translation of the fairy tale “The Little Prince” by A. de Saint-Exupery into German are studied, and a comparison is made of the features of the representation of the concept under study in the original language. We conclude that the concept of “Doer” is represented by using similar constructions in the description of the three characters selected for the study. We determine the prospects for further study of the problem, namely, identifying the features of the means of lexical representation of concepts in the work of A. de Saint-Exupery “The Little Prince” on the material of German and French.
