This article explores key theoretical frameworks for analyzing semantic and pragmatic equivalence in the translation of political texts, focusing on English-Uzbek language transfer. Recognizing the central role of equivalence in translation studies, the study examines four principal types – formal, dynamic, semantic, and pragmatic – and evaluates their functions in political discourse, where linguistic choices carry informational, persuasive, and ideological significance. The paper integrates major translation approaches, including purpose-oriented functional models, discourse-based analytical perspectives, and communicative versus semantic translation strategies, to establish a multidimensional framework for assessing political translation. Particular attention is given to criteria for evaluating equivalence, such as semantic accuracy, pragmatic effectiveness, ideological consistency, and rhetorical preservation. The study also identifies key constraints affecting translation outcomes, including structural differences between English and Uzbek, cultural specificity of political concepts, institutional terminology, and ethical or political pressures. The findings demonstrate that effective political translation requires a flexible, hybrid strategy that balances textual fidelity with communicative functionality and sociocultural appropriateness in cross-linguistic political communication.
