CHALLENGES IN TRANSLATING TOURISM TERMINOLOGY FROM ENGLISH INTO UZBEK

Abstract

This article examines the challenges involved in translating tourism terminology from English into Uzbek. Tourism language constitutes a specialised register that combines technical vocabulary with culturally embedded expressions, making accurate and communicative translation a demanding task. The study analyses the linguistic and extralinguistic factors that hinder the achievement of equivalence between English and Uzbek tourism terms. Drawing upon established theories of translation studies and terminology science, the research identifies different types of equivalence full equivalence, partial equivalence, and non-equivalence as they apply to tourism discourse. Through comparative analysis of selected tourism terms, the article demonstrates how translators employ strategies such as borrowing, descriptive translation, calque, and paraphrasing in order to render source language meaning effectively in Uzbek. The findings reveal that full terminological equivalence between English and Uzbek is relatively rare owing to cultural, structural, and conceptual asymmetries between the two languages. Nevertheless, effective translation can be achieved through context-sensitive strategies that preserve both semantic precision and communicative clarity.

Ushbu maqolada ingliz tilidan oʻzbek tiliga turizm terminologiyasini tarjima qilishdagi qiyinchiliklar oʻrganiladi. Turizm tili maxsus leksikani va madaniy jihatdan oʻziga xos ifodalarni oʻz ichiga olgan alohida til qatlami boʻlib, uni aniq va kommunikativ tarjima qilish jiddiy muammo hisoblanadi. Tadqiqotda ingliz va oʻzbek turizm terminlari oʻrtasidagi ekvivalentlikka erishishni qiyinlashtiradigan lingvistik va ekstralingvistik omillar tahlil qilinadi. Tarjima nazariyasi va terminologiya fanining asosiy konsepsiyalariga tayanib, tadqiqot turizm diskursiga nisbatan toʻliq ekvivalentlik, qisman ekvivalentlik va ekvivalentsizlik kabi ekvivalentlik turlarini aniqlaydi. Tanlangan turizm terminlarini qiyosiy tahlil qilish orqali maqolada tarjimonlar manba tilidagi maʻnoni oʻzbek tilida samarali ifodalash uchun qanday strategiyalardan oʻzlashtirishdan tavsifiy tarjimaga qadar foydalanishlarini koʻrsatadi. Tadqiqot natijalari shuni koʻrsatadiki, ikkala til oʻrtasidagi toʻliq terminologik ekvivalentlik madaniy, strukturaviy va kontseptual nomutanosibliklar sababli kamdan-kam uchraydi.
