ENGLISH–UZBEK TRANSLATION PROBLEMS OF MODERNIST PROSE: A STUDY OF VIRGINIA WOOLF'S WORKS

THE INFLUENCE OF GLOBALIZATION ON VIRGINIA WOOLF’S AUTHORIAL IDIOLECT AND LITERARY CONCEPTOSPHERE

This article examines the influence of globalization on Virginia Woolf’s authorial idiolect and literary conceptosphere in Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. The study identifies Woolf’s individual style through stream-of-consciousness narration, fragmented syntax, metaphorical density, and rhythmic prose. It also demonstrates how the concepts of “time,” “self,” “memory,” and “place” expand under the influence of global cultural exchange, war experience, urban modernity, and modernist thought. The findings show that Woolf’s fiction combines subjective perception with broader historical and cultural processes. The article argues that globalization in Woolf’s works functions not only as a social backdrop but also as a cognitive and stylistic force that shapes narrative form and conceptual meaning.

The politics of literary production in Urdu modernism

Faiz Ahmed Faiz (1911-1984), N.M. Rashid (1910-1975), and Miraji (1912-1949) are three of the most prominent poets of Urdu modernism. Despite writing at the same time and responding to the same literary and political landscapes, they took different approaches to tradition and its relationship to poetic invention, views on literature’s role in responding to political realities, and how they wanted readers to engage with their work. These literary translations track their respective styles as they wrote during a moment of great upheaval: the Partition of India. This anthology is accompanied by an introduction which situates these poets in their specific literary and linguistic context, examines how their work is still relevant today, and tracks how the translator’s decisions are informed by their poetics.

Realia of Russian Culture in Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina and their Translation

This article explores the translation of Russian cultural realia in Leo Tolstoy’s "Anna Karenina"and their interpretation in English versions. The study focuses on four major categories of cultural realia: everyday life, social hierarchy, religious practices, and symbolic elements. The central problem lies in the fact that translating such realia goes beyond lexical substitution and becomes an act of intercultural communication, where the translator’s choices determine whether the national identity is preserved or lost. The aim of the research is to identify the specific strategies used by Constance Garnett (1901) and Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky (2004) in rendering cultural realia, and to assess how adaptation versus preservation influences the perception of the novel in the English-speaking world. The analysis reveals that Garnett employed domestication, replacing Russian realia with familiar analogues (tea-urn, count, christening), which facilitated comprehension but reduced authenticity. In contrast, Pevear and Volokhonsky retained original terms (samovar, graf, moleben, troika), creating a sense of foreignness while preserving cultural specificity. The findings confirm Vlakhov and Florin’s thesis that the translation of realia is a “test for the translator.” The choice between adaptation and preservation directly shapes the image of Russia in the minds of foreign readers. Thus, the translation of cultural realia in Anna Karenina functions not merely as a literary task but as a medium of intercultural dialogue, influencing the transmission of national identity across linguistic boundaries.

Techniques of Cultural Translation: An Analysis of Mountain Painted with Turmeric

This article analyzes the techniques employed in translating culturally specific terms from the Nepali novel Basain into its English translation, Mountain Painted with Turmeric. The research identifies the strategies adopted by the translator to mediate between source text and target text focusing on the translation of culture specific words. Through textual analysis of ecological, material, social, organizational, and gestural terms, the article examines the application of various translation procedures including transference, neutralization, functional equivalence, adaptation, and deletion. It has analyzed the terms with proposive sampling in data collection and has thematic anlysis. The findings reveal that the employed techniques occasionally distort the original meaning in the translated text. Moreover, the study emphasizes the inherent challenges in cultural translation and emphasizes the necessity for nuanced, context-sensitive approaches to preserve the integrity of sociocultural meaning in translation.

Decolonizing English: Linguistic resistance and literary voice in contemporary Muslim women's writing

This paper explores how contemporary Muslim women writers use English as a resource for linguistic decolonization. Based on a comparative analysis of selected literary texts, the study argues that English functions not only as a medium of communication but as a site of resistance and transformation. The analysis focuses on three linguistic domains - lexicon, syntax, and pragmatics - showing how authors employ lexical innovation, syntactic deviation, and pragmatic strategies to construct culturally grounded meanings and alternative epistemologies. The findings indicate that these writers reshape English through hybrid and translingual forms, challenging the idea of a standardized and monolithic language. By integrating insights from postcolonial theory and applied linguistics, particularly World Englishes and translingual practice, the paper conceptualizes linguistic decolonization as both a sociolinguistic process and a literary practice. Ultimately, it highlights the role of literature in amplifying marginalized voices and fostering a more inclusive global linguistic landscape.
