Abstract
Translation is a complex intercultural and communicative activity that involves much more than the transfer of words, grammatical structures, and lexical meanings from one language into another. In the process of translation, the translator is expected to reproduce the communicative intention of the source text, preserve its pragmatic meaning, and create an appropriate communicative effect on the target audience. This requirement becomes particularly challenging when translating between English and Uzbek, as the two languages represent different linguistic systems, cultural traditions, patterns of social interaction, and conventions of politeness. The present study investigates the major pragmatic challenges encountered in English–Uzbek and Uzbek–English translation.
