Giving Semantic and Pragmatic Meanings in Translation on The Example of Chulpan’s Novel “Night and Day”

This article examines the issue of conveying semantic and pragmatic meanings in literary translation based on the example of Cho‘lpon’s novel “Night and Day” and its English translation by Christopher Fort. The study focuses on the analysis of lexical units, cultural realia, and emotional-expressive elements that form different layers of meaning in the source text. The findings reveal that while denotative (semantic) meanings are largely preserved in translation, pragmatic aspects such as emotional intensity, cultural specificity, and stylistic nuances are partially reduced or adapted. The research identifies key translation strategies, including equivalence, descriptive translation, and adaptation, as effective tools for maintaining meaning. The study contributes to translation studies by highlighting the importance of integrating semantic and pragmatic analysis in literary translation.
