PRAGMATIC ADEQUACY IN TRANSLATING HISTORICAL TEXTS: THE CASE OF THE INSTITUTES OF TIMUR

Abstract

Historical texts embody not only linguistic meaning but also historical memory, cultural identity, ideological values, and pragmatic intentions. Therefore, their translation requires more than lexical or grammatical equivalence; it demands the preservation of pragmatic adequacy, ensuring that the communicative purpose, historical authenticity, and cultural significance of the original are accurately conveyed to the target audience.
