Semantic and Stylistic Adaptation in The Translation of Popular Science Programs (Case Study: Time Warp)
Abstract
This research article analyzes the linguistic translation of the English-language documentary series Time Warp into Uzbek. The focus lies on how metaphorical expressions, expressive phrases, emotional connotations, and cultural adaptation strategies are implemented in the target language. The study evaluates the translator’s ability to balance literal and stylistic approaches and addresses challenges in finding equivalent expressions in Uzbek.
