THE ROLE OF RHYTHM AND SOUND IN SHAKESPEARE'S POETRY AND ITS REPRODUCTION IN UZBEK

William Shakespeare’s poetic style is distinguished by its intricate use of rhythm, meter, and sound devices, which contribute significantly to the expressive and aesthetic qualities of his works. This study explores the role of rhythm and sound in Shakespeare’s poetry and examines the challenges associated with their reproduction in Uzbek translations. By analyzing key elements such as iambic pentameter, rhyme schemes, alliteration, and assonance, the paper identifies the linguistic and phonetic constraints that arise in translation. Special attention is given to how translators adapt Shakespearean rhythm within the phonetic and syntactic framework of the Uzbek language. A comparative analysis of selected Uzbek translations highlights strategies employed to retain the poetic essence while accommodating structural differences between English and Uzbek. The findings reveal that while some rhythmic and sound patterns can be approximated, certain nuances remain difficult to fully capture, necessitating creative solutions. This study contributes to the broader discourse on literary translation by shedding light on the intersection of poetic form and linguistic adaptation.
