Abstract
This article covers the types of lexical transformations used in translation and their characteristics. Transformation methods such as concretization, generalization, antonymic translation, replacement of cause with effect, compensation, addition and omission are analyzed with examples. The function of each method in the translation process, their linguistic and stylistic significance are explained. The article focuses on the practical application of transformation methods, taking into account the grammatical and semantic differences between the English and Uzbek languages. For each type of transformation, it is shown with simple examples for what purpose it is used, when it is used, and what results it gives in translation. The example of grammatical and semantic differences between English and Uzbek illustrates how these methods can help make the text clear, understandable and natural for the reader in translation.
