Аннотация

This study examines the system of translation techniques used in rendering metrological units related to the categories of space and time from Kazakh into English. The research analyzes the difficulties and specific features encountered in translating units of measurement that reflect the nomadic lifestyle of the Kazakh people. The findings demonstrate that the unity of the categories of space and time is manifested not only in the Kazakh language but also in the English language, despite their significant structural differences. The study identifies various ways of conveying the worldview, everyday life, cultural heritage, and history of the Kazakh people to English-speaking readers in a clear and accessible manner. At the same time, it is shown that the national and cultural specificity of the source text cannot always be fully preserved in translation, which may lead to certain semantic discrepancies. The research employs comparative (contrastive), analytical, and interpretative methods. The purpose of the study is to identify the specific features of translating units of measurement associated with the period of nomadic culture into another language. In this regard, determining effective strategies for translating Kazakh measurement terms into English and improving translation quality through a comparative analysis of their semantic and cultural characteristics constitute one of the pressing issues in contemporary Translation Studies and Literary Studies. The results of the research may serve as a theoretical and practical basis for further studies in Translation Studies, Ethnolinguistic, Contrastive and Cognitive Linguistics, Lexicology and Literary Studies.
