Abstract

The article examines English metaphorical nominal quantifiers and the peculiarities
of their translation into Ukrainian, in terms of the role of these lexemes in expressing
indefinite quantity and conveying expressive-evaluative meaning. The research highlights
collocational constraints and semantic shifts in ‘Noun of Noun’ constructions. A
comparative analysis of English originals and Ukrainian translations reveals translation
methods employed while rendering them, as well as grammatical divergences that can
occur in the target text.
