TRANSLATION CHALLENGES BETWEEN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LANGUAGES
Abstract
Translation between English and Uzbek presents unique challenges due to their linguistic, structural, and cultural disparities. This article explores the key difficulties encountered in translating between these typologically distinct languages, focusing on syntax, morphology, lexical gaps, and cultural nuances. Through a qualitative analysis of translation practices, it examines how these challenges manifest in literary, technical, and media texts. The study highlights strategies to overcome obstacles such as agglutinative morphology in Uzbek versus analytic structures in English, alongside issues of idiomatic expressions and cultural context. Findings suggest that effective translation requires a deep understanding of both languages’ grammatical systems and socio-cultural frameworks, offering insights for translators and linguists working with this language pair.
