Description

This article examines how gender markers in English texts are represented in Uzbek translation. English may indicate gender through pronouns, forms of address, occupational titles, and other lexical choices, whereas Uzbek does not have grammatical gender and often uses gender-neutral expressions. These structural differences can make a person’s gender less explicit in translation or require the translator to express it through context or additional words. The article considers how such choices affect meaning, characterization, and the portrayal of social roles. It argues that gender should be made explicit in Uzbek when it is relevant to the source text’s meaning, while unnecessary specification should be avoided.
