Jul 2026 · Ijtimoiy-gumanitar sohada ilmiy-innovatsion tadqiqotlar · 0 citations

Abstract

This article examines the linguistic and stylistic challenges encountered in translating modernist prose from English into Uzbek, with particular reference to Virginia Woolf’s modernist novels Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. The study analyzes the difficulties involved in rendering the author’s stream of consciousness technique, complex syntactic structures, symbolic imagery, individual writing style, and culture-specific elements in the translation process. Furthermore, it provides a scholarly discussion of effective translation strategies aimed at preserving the aesthetic value of the literary text, the author’s distinctive style, and its pragmatic effect. The findings contribute to the advancement of the theory and practice of literary translation between English and Uzbek and support the development of principles for the adequate translation of modernist literary works.
