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

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.

An Overview of the Linguistic Model of Literary Text Transformation

The article provides an overview of the linguistic model for literary text transformation. The phenomenon of text adaptation and transformation is comprehensively examined from the perspective of the language teaching process. A theoretical review is conducted on the model proposed for adapting literary texts through the transformational method. The paper is dedicated to text linguistics, a rapidly developing branch of modern linguistics. It reviews the studies of domestic and foreign scholars who have investigated or are currently researching text linguistics, while also analyzing the pressing issues in this field. It is noted that over the past three decades, interest in this particular area of linguistics has been growing at an exceptional pace within both foreign and domestic scholarship. Furthermore, both general and specific research methods applicable to scientific inquiry were employed in this study. Contemporary linguistic research investigates text analysis and modification through an interdisciplinary lens. Crucially, the transformation of literary texts has emerged as a focal point of scholarly inquiry, shedding light on the intricate relationships connecting language to cognitive processes, cultural paradigms, and discursive strategies.

Translation and imperial ambitions

This socio-historical study seeks to investigate the role played by translation in strengthening the Italian colonial project in Libya. Drawing on postcolonial translation theory and insights from multimodality theory, this article investigates the translation practices utilized by the Italian government to Italianize Libya. Drawing on archival materials from the Libyan Center of Manuscripts and Historical Studies, focusing on records related to education and the press, the article posits that translation served as a crucial instrument wielded by Italian colonizers to assert dominance and exploit resources. Two case studies examine translated colonial newspaper articles from بريد برقة [Barīd Barqah] (1921) and ليبيا المصورة [Lībiyā Almwṣwrh] (1935), illustrating how Italian authority shaped Arabic media discourse through translation. The findings indicate that translated Italian propaganda in Arabic media depicted Libyans as backwards and reinforced colonial power structures.
