Cognitive-Semiotic Perspective on Literary Translation, Focusing on John Green's Novel "the Fault in Our Stars" and its Russian and Uzbek Versions

This study adopts a cognitive-semiotic perspective, examining literary translation as the reconstruction of meaning and impact inside a new semiotic system, utilising John Green's The Fault in Our Stars and its Russian and Uzbek translations as a case study. An analysis grounded in frame and pragmatics concerning metaphors, minimalist formulae, names, intertexts, and wordplay reveals that successful translations integrate retention, modulation, explicitation, and compensation to maintain frames and cultural implications while ensuring artistic integrity; this culminates in a pragmatic workflow for translators.
