Abstract

This article examines the semantic interpretation of the Korean copula constructions "이다 (ida)" (to be) and "아니다 (anida)" (to not be), analyzing their diverse functions beyond simple identification and predication. It explores how these constructions contribute to expressing properties, categories, definitions, and equivalence relations. The study further investigates the various translation methods used to convey the nuances of "이다/아니다" in Uzbek, considering the challenges posed by the differing grammatical structures and semantic ranges of the two languages. It examines the use of copular verbs, demonstrative pronouns, adverbial phrases, and alternative syntactic structures in Uzbek to accurately capture the intended meaning of the Korean source. Finally, the paper analyzes the pragmatic factors that influence the choice of translation strategies, considering context, register, and speaker intention. This comparative study offers valuable insights for translators and linguists seeking to effectively bridge the semantic gap between Korean and Uzbek copular constructions.
