Abstract

This article investigates the pragmatic functions of connotative meaning in English and its importance for translation into Uzbek. Connotative meaning not only conveys emotions but also communicates social relationships, speaker attitude, and stylistic tone. Translators need to consider context, audience, and cultural norms to preserve these functions in the target language. Using examples from literature, media, and everyday conversation, this article explores typical challenges and practical strategies for translating connotation while maintaining both pragmatic and cultural accuracy.
