The article deals with a complex study of the peculiarities of English emphasis rendering
in Ukrainian fiction translations. The work is focused on the problems of translating English
emphasis and their combinations, depending on their communicative and pragmatic functions in different
communication types of utterances. A classification of the types and kinds of English and Ukrainian
emphasis has been made. Conditions and peculiarities of translating emphatic means have been
found out and compared in English-Ukrainiаn translations. The emphasis has been studied as a means
of logical highlighting one or another member sentence, word or construction through a variety of established
standards, the expansion of the boundaries of generally accepted. Emphatic structures are being
perceived as the models opposite to the neutral ones. Emphatic expression is achieved by means of different
linguistic levels, as well as the use of various stylistic devices and figures. The authors state that
the range of emphatic means in the system of modern English language is wider than the corresponding
range in the system of Ukrainian language. The narrower range of lexical and grammatical means of
emphatic expression in Ukrainian language is compensated by intonation and/or more semantic (connotative)
capacity of emphatic units. The convergence of emphatic potential implementation in the
message in both languages is manifested at the lexical level (words, phrases amplifiers), lexico-grammatical
(the use of superlative degrees of comparison of adjectives and adverbs), syntax (the use of
repetition, rhetorical questions, separate syntactic constructions formed according to the scheme that/
who/what etc.), graphic (italics, highlighting, bold type, capital letters, a sparse font, graphic dividing
words into syllables etc.). The divergence means of emphasizing in English and Ukrainian languages
is defined by both some functional mismatch convergent means and amorphous characteristics of English
language, in particular inversion, the structures of logical emphasis, the structures with double
negation, the use of amplification do.
