Abstract

Simultaneous interpreting is a cognitively demanding linguistic activity that requires real-time processing, transfer, and re-encoding of syntactic structures between source and target languages. This study investigates syntactic transformations occurring during English–Uzbek simultaneous interpreting, focusing on structural shifts, reordering strategies, and grammatical restructuring. Using qualitative and contrastive analysis of interpreted discourse, the research identifies key transformation patterns such as constituent reordering, clause embedding simplification, passive-active conversion, and omission or addition of syntactic elements. Findings reveal that structural divergence between English (analytic, SVO-dominant) and Uzbek (agglutinative, SOV-dominant) significantly influences interpreting strategies. The study contributes to theoretical and practical understanding of interpreting processes and provides implications for interpreter training programs.
