THE PROBLEM OF POLYSEMY AND HOMONYMY IN THE TRANSLATION PROCESS
Keywords:
translation theory, polysemy, homonymy, semantics, contextual analysis, artificial intelligenceAbstract
This article analyzes the phenomena of polysemy (multiple meanings) and homonymy (words that are the same in form but have different meanings) in the translation process. In linguistics, these phenomena are considered semantic complexities and cause serious problems in translation practice. The theoretical foundations of the phenomena of polysemy and homonymy, their impact on the translation process, their dependence on context, cultural differences, and approaches in translation systems based on artificial intelligence are studied. Based on practical examples, the impact of these problems on the quality of translation is analyzed and proposals are put forward to eliminate them. The results of the study are of practical importance for translators, linguists, and specialists involved in translation technologies.
