Abstract. The research aims to identify the translation solutions that reflect a translator’s linguistic personality. The translations of Jane Austen’s novel “Pride and Prejudice” by I. S. Marshak, I. G. Gurova, and A. Ya. Livergant served as the research material. The paper examines the notions of “translation variability” and “a translator’s linguistic personality”, investigates the transformations of speech acts in different translation variants taking into account the manifestation of translators’ linguistic personality. The translation process is determined by many factors, including pragmatic ones, which is manifested in the choice of speech acts for the final version of the translation. The research is original in that it considers the transformation of speech acts as a translator’s individual choice based on the analysis of such objective pragmatic components of translation discourse as proposition and presupposition. As a result of the research, it was found that a professional translator is looking for an objective, adequate and harmonious (in cognitive, linguistic, and cultural terms) translation variant, deciphering the pragmatic parameters of the original text taking into account their influence on the addressee, which leads to the transformation of speech acts in the translation process.
