Annotatsiya

This paper examines how English-source media framing changes when it is translated into Russian and Uzbek. The analysis focuses on two tightly connected zones of journalistic language: agency and evidentiality. A small corpus was built from three Reuters items in finance, energy, and climate reporting (Reuters, 2024a, 2024b, 2024c). For analytical control, I compared the English headline and lead of each item with one Russian and one Uzbek rendering produced for this study. The comparison shows an uneven pattern. Russian more readily preserves compressed institutional phrasing and impersonal assessment. Uzbek more often requires explicit naming of actors, clearer source attribution, and partial unpacking of technical shorthand. This does not mean that Uzbek is less suited to media discourse. It means that pragmatic equivalence is reached through different routes. In the selected material, language dominance appears not as a simple hierarchy of prestige, but as pressure to retain the tempo and compression of Anglophone news while still meeting the interpretive needs of distinct readerships.
