THE INTERPRETATION OF THE WORD “HEART” – “YURAK” IN ENGLISH LITERATURE AND ITS ARTISTIC TRANSLATION INTO UZBEK (BASED ON JANE AUSTEN’S “PRIDE AND PREJUDICE”)

Abstract

This article analyzes the semantic, stylistic, and cultural nuances of the word “heart” in English literary texts and its artistic translation into Uzbek. The study focuses on examples from Jane Austen’s novel “Pride and Prejudice” and their corresponding renderings in Uzbek, particularly examining how emotional and metaphorical meanings are preserved, lost, or adapted in translation. Through grammatical and stylistic analysis, the research highlights the importance of conveying emotional subtlety (“emotional nuance”) and metaphorical depth in cross-cultural literary translation. The findings reveal that while the Uzbek translations capture the core meaning, certain emotional and stylistic layers of the original are occasionally omitted or transformed in accordance with the target culture’s expressive norms.
