Cho‘Lpon’s Translation Conception And Its Role In The Development Of Contemporary Uzbek Translation Studies

Abstract

This article examines the translation activities of Abdulhamid Sulaymon o‘g’li Cho‘lpon and his contribution to the development of Uzbek translation studies. It explores his approach to translating works of world literature into Uzbek, with particular attention to the principles underpinning his efforts to preserve the semantic content and artistic and aesthetic features of the original texts. The article also considers the significance of Cho‘lpon’s translations for the development of the Uzbek literary language, the formation of translation culture, and the introduction of world literature to Uzbek readers. His translation skills are analyzed in relation to his artistic thinking, effective use of the linguistic resources of Uzbek, and commitment to harmonizing national and universal values. Employing literary-historical and comparative methods, the study establishes Cho‘lpon’s translation conception as one of the significant factors contributing to the development of contemporary Uzbek translation studies
