SEMANTIC AND PRAGMATIC DIMENSIONS OF NEW SINCERITY IN CONTEMPORARY YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE AND THEIR TRANSLATION INTO RUSSIAN AND UZBEK

Abstract

This article examines the semantic and pragmatic features of New Sincerity in contemporary Young Adult literature and analyzes how these features are reproduced in Russian and Uzbek translations. Focusing on John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, the study explores metaphor, focalization, humor, and conversational discourse as linguistic markers of emotional authenticity. The findings demonstrate that effective translation of New Sincerity depends not on literal equivalence, but on the preservation of emotional tone, pragmatic intention, and reader empathy.
