SAID AHMAD’S WORKS AND THEIR TRANSLATIONS: A LINGUOCULTUROLOGICAL AND TRANSLATOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

This article examines the works of Said Ahmad, one of the prominent figures of Uzbek literature, and their translations into foreign languages from a linguoculturological and translation studies perspective. It analyzes how the national mentality, cultural realia, and the uniqueness of artistic images are preserved or adapted in the process of translation. Particular attention is paid to translations into Turkish, with a focus on translation strategies, semantic shifts, cultural adaptations, and the problem of equivalence.
