LINGUOCULTURAL AND TRANSLATION ANALYSIS OF LITERARY DISCOURSE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ENGLISH, RUSSIAN, AND UZBEK VERSIONS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF SIDNEY SHELDON’S NOVEL ‘IF TOMORROW COMES’)
Abstract
This article examines the linguocultural and translational features of literary discourse based on selected excerpts translated from English into Russian and Uzbek. The study focuses on three domains: intimate discourse, family and social relations, and stigma-related cultural symbolism. The analysis reveals that while the Russian translation largely preserves semantic and stylistic equivalence, the Uzbek translation demonstrates significant cultural adaptation, leading to shifts in meaning, tone, and pragmatic effect.
