[ Anatomy of English Humor: English Jokes and Their Russian Translation-Equivalents : Angliiskie Shutki s Perevodom na Russkii Iazyk]
6th ed
Moscow: LENAND, 2015 256 p pbk. 14 x 21 cm ISBN: 9785971019466 Language: Russian
English jokes and idioms - proverbs, sayings, parables, toasts, anecdotes, aphorisms from celebrities and unknown authors, with Russian translation-equivalents are helpful to English-language learners (and English speakers mastering the Russian language) giving them a deeper insight into the very core of the language, uncovering the rules of creation and usage of the famous English humor by comparing them with the Russian analogues. Vigorous English style, be it a business talk, statesmen’s speeches, or even an epitaph, cannot do without irony; one cannot catch the idea without seeing the point of the humor. Lev Barskii (1932-2009) shows the very “atoms” of the vigorous English style - idioms and some slang phrases with their Russian equivalents, as well as expressions borrowed by European languages from Latin. Following the issue of the same author’s “Anatomy of Humor” presenting the system analysis of Russian humor the new book systematizes the wealth of English humor.
