This article explores the role of phonic figures of speech in G.A. Dolgaya’s fantasy novel Bogi sredinnego mira (The Gods of the Middle World) and its English translation by R. Thompson, The Gods of Middle World. Special attention is given to the stylistic and emotive functions of alliteration, assonance, and onomatopoeia—key rhetorical devices that shape the aesthetic and affective impact of both the source and target texts. The research is grounded in the theoretical frameworks of prominent scholars in translation studies, stylistics, and linguistics, including A.A. Potebnya, V.M. Zhirmunsky, Yu.N. Tynyanov, M.L. Gasparov, L.V. Zubova, V.I. Tyupa, M. Magnus, G. Jung, L. Spitzer, H.-G. Gadamer, H.-R. Jauss, R. Tsur, and J. Ohala. Through a comparative analysis of the original and translated texts, the study identifies divergences in the rendition of phonic devices and evaluates their implications for stylistic coherence and emotional resonance. The translator’s strategies such as functional equivalence, semantic translation, compensation, and grammatical-stylistic adaptation are critically examined. Additionally, the article proposes alternative translation solutions to enhance the preservation of the original’s stylistic nuances and expressive force.
