On the Issue of the Usage of Certain Tajik Modal Particles and Their English Equivalents
Abstract
The given article dwells on the comparative analysis of the morphological features and functional equivalents of selected Tajik modal particles within Sadriddin Aini’s seminal novel “Ghulomon” (“The Slaves”) and their English translations. It is underscored that the study of modal particles constitutes a particularly intricate and vital domain within linguistics.
Thus, the profound analysis of examples from “Ghulomon” by Aini demonstrates that the effective translation of modal particles is crucial for preserving the author’s voice, character nuance, and the overall stylistic integrity of the literary work. This study contributes significantly to contrastive linguistics by mapping these complex modal expressions across genetically distinct languages and offers valuable insights for literary translators and language educators alike.
