This paper examines the semantic and pragmatic shifts that take place when translating English psychological novels into Uzbek. Translating this specific genre is highly challenging because characters’ internal thoughts, stream-of-consciousness techniques, and subtle emotions are deeply tied to the source language. By comparing English as an analytic language with Uzbek as an agglutinative one, the study analyzes how abstract emotional terms and somatic metaphors change during translation. The findings show that literal translation fails to capture psychological depth. Instead, translators must use conscious semantic adjustments and pragmatic strategies like domestication to ensure the text feels natural and emotionally powerful for Uzbek readers
