Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article explores the distinctive features of socio-political and media translation from French into Azerbaijani. It examines the hybrid nature of socio-political texts, which often combine informative and expressive functions, incorporating both journalistic and rhetorical elements. The paper highlights the challenges faced by translators, such as preserving emotional tone, political intention, and cultural nuances while adapting stylistic features to suit the norms of the target language. Special attention is given to genre and lexico-syntactic features of French socio-political discourse, including the use of clichés, idioms, metaphors, and evaluative language. The article emphasizes the translator’s role in maintaining the informative purpose of the original while adapting stylistic features to ensure clarity and accessibility for Azerbaijani readers.
