This paper focuses on a comparative analysis of fifteen Italian translations of Nikolaj Gogol's short story "The Overcoat", included in the Italian-Russian parallel corpus of RNC. In particular, two linguistic features distinguishing the way of speaking of the main character are examined: the particle togo and syntactic ellipsis. In both cases two translation strategies emerged, showing that translators' choices not always depend on linguistic criteria.

Abstract
This paper focuses on a comparative analysis of fifteen Italian translations of Nikolaj Gogol's short story "The Overcoat", included in the Italian-Russian parallel corpus of RNC. In particular, two linguistic features distinguishing the way of speaking of the main character are examined: the particle togo and syntactic ellipsis. In both cases two translation strategies emerged, showing that translators' choices not always depend on linguistic criteria.
