PROBLEMS OF TRANSLATION AND ASSIMILATION OF ANTHROPONYMS

Аннотация

This article examines the specific difficulties associated with translating anthroponyms - personal names - across cultures. The study examines the deep cultural significance of names and the difficulties translators may face in preserving their original meaning and essence when adapting them to another language. By analyzing various translation methods, such as transcription, transliteration, transposition, copying, compensation and transcreation, an understanding of effective strategies for preserving the integrity of anthroponyms and mitigating cultural misunderstandings that may arise during the translation process is provided. Keywords: globalization, anthroponym, cultural relations, translation methods, linguistic elements. The process of globalization, which is currently gaining momentum, has affected various fields, including linguistics, and has increased cultural and economic exchanges between countries. One of the notable areas affected by this exchange is onomastics - the study of names. Personal names, or anthroponyms, are not only identifiers, but also carriers of cultural and social information. Due to the potential for misinterpretation in the process of adapting and translating them into other languages, the cultural meanings embodied in the anthroponym can be lost. This article examines the problems that linguists and translators face when working with anthroponyms in the context of intercultural communication. It examines how anthroponyms can be correctly transmitted across languages ​ ​ while preserving the cultural significance of names, and discusses the methods used to overcome these difficulties. Understanding these processes is crucial for strengthening mutual respect and preventing cultural conflicts in a globalized world. Intercultural communication is a direct or indirect exchange of information between representatives of different linguistic cultures and a sufficient level of mutual understanding between two participants in a communicative act belonging to different national cultures. This is a communication that takes place in conditions of significant culturally determined differences in the communicative abilities of its participants, and these differences can significantly affect the successful or otherwise successful outcome of this communication. The concept of intercultural communication was first theoretically approached by anthropologist Edward T. Hall. In his book "Silent Language", published in 1959, the relationship between communication and culture was extensively analyzed. In the scientific literature of the 1970s, intercultural communication was used in a somewhat narrow sense, but later it began to be studied more widely in such fields as comparative cultural studies and translation theory. In order for two participants in communication to understand each other correctly, both of them must be aware of the culture of the interlocutor. Since a person's name, surname or nickname is considered an important component during a communicative act, its correct expression prevents the emergence of cultural conflict. A person's name is an integral part of his existence. Personal names are lexical units that have an important identity in language and speech, have functions such as identifying the referent, https://ijmri.de/index.php/jmsi volume 4,issue3,2025 656 transmitting information about him. Personal names play an important role in intercultural communication, serving as both a symbol of identity and a means of strengthening ties. Anthroponyms are manifested in various aspects of intercultural relations. In particular, they are important in expressing mutual respect, and addressing people by their name correctly shows respect for theirpersonality, while usingthe wrong name, on thecontrary, is manifested as a sign of cultural indifference, disrespect. Understanding how names are used in a professional environment can affect business relationships and negotiations. For example, in some cultures, using a person's full name or official title is important in professional settings, while in others a more casual approach may be the norm.It is believed that no special approach is required when translating names or proper nouns from one language to another. However, this opinion is not entirely justified, because the name itself has a deep semantic structure, its own characteristics in terms of form and etymology in the language in which it exists, and when translated into another language, most of these characteristics are lost. In addition todistinguishing a person from others in society, anthroponyms perform a number of other functions, including providing information about a person's social status, lineage, beliefs, nationality or values. When translating them into another language, it is difficult to fully preserve these characteristics of names. Although names cannot be exactly assimilated into another language in terms of form and meaning, there are several ways to trans
