This article explores the linguistic and stylistic aspects of text adaptation, emphasizing the need for lexical, grammatical, and syntactic modifications when tailoring texts for various audiences. A central focus is the preservation or alteration of stylistic features during the adaptation process. The study examines scientific, literary, journalistic, and official texts, analyzing how they are linguistically transformed for improved accessibility. Linguistic adaptation involves adjusting language structures to the reader's or listener's level, while textual adaptation refers to broader modifications aimed at maintaining the semantic, stylistic, and structural integrity of the original text. Linguistic and textual adaptation are presented as interrelated phenomena in modern linguistics and communication theory. The article discusses how these adaptation function in different socio-cultural contexts, with linguistic adaptation focusing on pragmatic, semantic, and syntactic aspects, and textual adaptation targeting audience-specific adjustments. The article also analyzes various approaches and strategies for adapting texts based on language proficiency. As a practical application, Ybray Altynsarin's story Jaman joldas (Bad Comrade) is adapted for A1 and B1 levels, followed by a comparative analysis of the original and adapted versions. This case study illustrates key features and effectiveness of both adaptation types. Finally, the study addresses the role of authentic versus adapted texts in language learning, underscoring the importance of balancing accessibility with textual integrity. The findings underscore the significance of adaptation in language teaching and translation, offering insights for researchers and educators.
