Abstract

The study investigates how English and Uzbek languages link their semiotic meaning through simulation testing of their phrasing patterns while assessing the difficulties that arise during translation because of cultural and linguistic and situational differences. The research demonstrates that direct translation of phraseological units often fails to preserve the original meaning and cultural connotations, necessitating the application of various translation strategies including equivalence, analogical correspondence, and descriptive translation.
