Maqola haqida umumiy ma'lumotlar
This article presents a detailed comparative stylistic analysis of the use of simile in George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984” and its Uzbek translation. The study examines the ways in which similes are employed to convey meaning, create literary effects, and enhance the reader’s understanding of the characters and themes in both the original text and its translation. The results show that while some similes are translated directly, maintaining their original form and meaning, others are adapted or replaced with culturally appropriate equivalents to better fit the context of the target language. This analysis sheds light on the challenges and strategies involved in translating figurative language across linguistic and cultural boundaries. It highlights the importance of considering not only the literal meaning of words but also their connotations and cultural associations when translating literary texts. The findings contribute to our understanding of the complexities of literary translation and provide valuable insights for translators, scholars, and readers interested in cross-cultural communication and the art of literary translation.
