Abstrakt

The article discusses the features of the suggestion of the concept “Devil” in German studies, examines the relationship between the sub-concepts “evil” and “sadness” in the context of the preservation of narrative structures in translation, and also revealed the main features of the concept under study. There is a statement that suggestion is a way of interpreting a certain message through a combination of logical and emotional components at the syntactic and morphological levels, which affects the consciousness of the recipient. The inculcation of religious concepts provokes certain states or feelings of a person, encouraging them to commit acts that don’t correspond to the initial psycho-mental portrait of a person, awakening and deforming the reader's subconscious perception of reality. Particular attention was paid to the study of the methods of translating the direct speech of the author from the original language to the target language, which reveal the main criteria for distinguishing between unreliable types of representation of the concept under study. During the analysis also was described a step-by-step application of the context-interpretive method of preserving narrative and was discovered the concept of “cognitive context”, which has a paramount importance in the minds of native speakers, and gives an opportunity to get closer to understanding of author's suggestive influence on the average reader.
