Pishchalnikova for the Descriptive Approach to study the relationship between the poetic text and its self-translation on the example of self-translations by J. Brodsky. <...> V. A. Pishchalnikova points directly to the need to develop a theory of translation based on conceptual analysis, “when the content of the text is presented as a function fi eld of meaning, rather than verbal actualization of the semantic fi eld of a lexeme, it should be studied the relationship of the components of the dominant meaning of the text, represented in different lexemes which do not usually implement an abstract systemic meaning, but fi x actual author’s subjective meanings using conventional units”. <...> The technique proposed by Pishchalnikova allows to present the cognitive structure of each literary text as a set of cognitive features (including the relationship between these features). <...> The analysis of correlation of semantic schemes of original text and the translation of the poem by J. Brodsky proves the relations of isomorphism (the identity of the form of original text and self-translation, where the form means formal-explicable personal meaning, according to the method by V. A. Pishchalnikova). <...> In this paper, we describe an attempt to apply this theoretical framework for the Descriptive © Siberian Federal University. <...> All rights reserved * Corresponding author E-mail address: a.s.sosna@mail.ru # 295 # Approach to study the relationship between the poetic text and its self-translation on the example of self-translations by J.

Leontiev, there are three dimensions of meaning: 1) objective relationship between the subject and the world, so called “meaning of life”; 2) image of the world in the consciousness of the subject, one of the components <...>
