ISSUES OF EQUIVALENCE AND FUNCTIONAL ADEQUACY OF LINGUISTIC UNITS IN ENGLISH–UZBEK LITERARY TRANSLATION
Abstract
The article addresses, within the framework of linguistic translation studies, the issues of equivalence and functional adequacy of linguistic units in English and Uzbek literary translation. An analysis of theoretical sources indicates that interpreting equivalence merely as dictionary-level lexical correspondence restricts the aesthetic potential of a literary text. Accordingly, the comparative
criteria adopted in this study include the connotative layer of lexical and phraseological units, the functional role of stylistic devices, pragmatic impact, and the syntactic as well as punctuation features that shape textual tone.
