Abstract

This article analyzes the syntactic difficulties encountered in simultaneous interpreting from English into Uzbek, examining their linguistic and cognitive origins as well as effective strategies for overcoming them. The typological contrast between English as an analytic language and Uzbek as an agglutinative language creates significant challenges for interpreters, particularly in real-time restructuring of word order, inversion, complex clauses, and multi-component verbal structures. The study highlights how interpreters employ chunking, anticipation, simplification, syntactic explicitation, and transposition as key strategies to manage processing load and ensure accuracy. Findings demonstrate that syntactic asymmetry remains one of the principal sources of cognitive strain in simultaneous interpreting.
