Abstract
The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has resulted in a "denotative fixation" in machine-assisted translation. In this context, translations often prioritise lexical accuracy over pragmatic and aesthetic resonance. "Human-centric" models are required in the translation of Uzbek literary masterpieces, which are characterised by high morphological density and distinctive cultural concepts [8]. To address these issues, this study introduces a Linguo-Cybernetic Framework that employs the "Master-Prompting" method, a strategy for crafting targeted instructions to guide AI translation.References
