CHARACTERISTICS OF ORAL INTERPRETATION OF POLITICAL SPEECHES FROM ENGLISH INTO UZBEK

Abstract

This thesis explores the distinctive characteristics of oral interpretation in the context of political speeches translated from English to Uzbek, emphasizing the linguistic, cultural, and pragmatic challenges inherent in this process. Drawing on interdisciplinary insights from linguistics, translation studies, and political discourse analysis, it examines how interpreters navigate syntactic asymmetries, cultural nuances, and real-time cognitive demands. Key characteristics include the adaptation of rhetorical devices, management of ideological connotations, and strategies for maintaining fidelity while ensuring audience comprehension. The analysis highlights the role of simultaneous and consecutive interpretation in diplomatic settings, where accuracy can influence geopolitical perceptions. By synthesizing existing literature and analogous case studies from Turkic languages, this work underscores the need for culturally attuned training for interpreters in emerging multilingual contexts like Uzbekistan's international engagements.
