This article studies how different translators interpret and express the representation of rivers in Bobur’s original Baburnama through a linguo-pragmatic analysis. By comparing the translations of Beveridge and Leyden-Erskine, the study looks at the linguistic and practical decisions each translator makes, and how these choices reflect their views on the rivers' cultural, historical, and emotional significance. While Leyden-Erskine adds a poetic and spiritual layer, emphasizing the rivers' symbolic and emotional depth, Beveridge focuses on presenting a clear, factual description based on geographical accuracy. The study also highlights how these contrasting approaches—literal versus interpretive translations, and domestication versus foreignization—shape how readers engage with the text and understand its meaning. The study shows how each translator tailors Bobur's depiction of rivers to suit the cultural context and expectations of their specific audiences, focusing on the practical aspects of translation. In its conclusion, the study highlights that translation is not just a linguistic task, but a cultural and pragmatic endeavor shaped by the translator's goals and the values of the time.
