Abstract

The article deals with the peculiarities of puns and word play and difficulties of their translation in "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. The authors analyze and compare the ways and means of interpreting puns in three different translations into Russian performed by V.V. Nabokov, A.A. Tscherbakov and N.M. Demurova and in the German one by Lieselotte Remané in order to determine the optimum alternatives of translation from the original.
