RECONSTRUCTING THE AUTHOR’S VOICE IN TRANSLATION: A STYLISTIC APPROACH TO LITERARY EQUIVALENCE

Аннотация

In Translation, the issue of restoring the author's voice becomes important within the framework of literary equivalence. In the process of translation, the author's unique style, methods of expression and artistic images should be preserved, and the spirit and meaning of the original text should be fully conveyed to the reader. This requires an approach to restoring the author's voice, both artistically and aesthetically, rather than giving the translation only literal meaning. The concept of literary equivalence is considered, in principle, as one of the main criteria that determine the quality of translation. It serves to ensure that the translation matches the original text in content, style and aesthetics. And restoring the author's voice in translation is one of the main directions for ensuring this equivalence. Keywords: translation, author, writer, translator, meaning, literature, literary equivalence. In order to restore the author's voice in translation, it is necessary first of all to deeply analyze the methodological features of the author. Each writer has a unique style, which determines the way in which he expresses his thoughts, feelings. Stylistic features include word choice, sentence structure, metaphors, and other artistic means. The translator must identify these stylistic elements and try to preserve them in translation. This process is complex and in many cases requires subtlety, since each language has its own means of artistic expression, and it can be difficult to transfer them to another language. A methodological approach to literary equivalence implies the preservation not only of the content of the translation, but also of its artistic and aesthetic aspects. In this approach, the translator sees his work not only as giving a lexical meaning, but as creating a work of art. The task of the translator is to recreate the voice of the author, that is, his way of expressing his opinion, tone and rhythm. This ensures that the translation is as lively and touching as the original text for the reader. A large role in restoring the author's voice is played by the language knowledge and artistic taste of the translator. The translator should not only be fluent in two languages, but also master the art of creating artistic texts. In order to achieve methodological equivalence, the translator employs his artistic creativity, appropriately applying various artistic tools in translation. For example, in order to correctly reflect metaphor, symbolism, irony in translation, the translator demonstrates his creative approach. Also, the translator seeks to fully use the artistic https://scientific-jl.com/wsrj 3 1 1 Volume-40_Issue-2_June-2025 World scientific research journal capabilities of the Uzbek language to restore the author's voice in a clear and touching way.[1[ In translation, it is important to fully understand the context in the process of restoring the author's voice. The author's thoughts, style of expression and artistic images will often depend on a certain cultural and historical context. The translator must deeply understand this context and reflect it in the translation. This ensures that translation is correct not only in terms of language, but also in terms of intercultural communication. A translation that does not take into account the context can spoil the author's voice, lose the true nature of his work. When restoring the author's voice in translation, it is also necessary to take into account the reader's audience. Each language and culture has its own reader expectations. For readers of the Uzbek language, the translator should approach the author's style and voice with delicacy in adaptation. This adaptation ensures that the translation is understandable and impressive to the reader, but at the same time it is important not to lose the author's own unique voice. Restoring the author's voice in translation requires finding this delicate balance.[2] To achieve stylistic equivalence in translation, the translator uses many strategies. For example, in word competition, methods such as the choice of synonyms and phraseological units corresponding to the author's style, the preservation of the sentence structure or its expression in a close form, the appropriate reflection of artistic means in translation are used. Sometimes the translator can reconstruct parts of the text or adapt it to the artistic traditions of the Uzbek language in order to completely restore the author's voice. All this is aimed at improving the quality of translation. The restoration of the author's voice in translation is important not only in the translation of works of art, but also in the translation of scientific, philosophical and socio-political texts. Any text contains the author's own style of thought and form of expression, the preservation of which determines the overall quality of the translation. Especially in fiction, the restoration of the author's voice enhances the effect of his work on
