Abstract
This study analyzes the translation process of the concept “人格权
rén gé quán
” from the Civil Code of China into Russian within a transcultural approach. A “conceptual gap” is identified in the Russian-language context by examining the term’s semantic structure and its innovative role in the Chinese legal system. The evolution of translation solutions – from the adaptive borrowing of “личных неимущественных прав” (personal non-property rights) to the creative reconstruction of “прав личности” (personality rights) – is traced, and a complex of transcultural strategies (adaptive borrowing, creative reconstruction, intercultural interpretation, unification) is synthesized. The translation process is presented as a dynamic mechanism of conceptual navigation and collaborative meaning construction, reflecting the adaptation of the Chinese legal concept within Russian legal discourse and serving as a micro-level manifestation of dialogue between legal civilizations. The study demonstrates that effective transculturation requires strategic dialogue and leads to the creation of hybrid conceptual products, offering a practical model and methodological framework for translating terms in the international dissemination of Chinese legal discourse, which holds significant importance for deepening legal and cultural exchanges between China and Russia.
