This article deals with the means of rendering functional potential of elliptical constructions in the translation of literary texts from Russian into English. This study of translation techniques is based on the semiotic theory of the text interpretation, as well as on the assumption that equivalence of the translation can be achieved on the condition of preserving all kinds of semiotic functions in the literary text.
