Due to the development of international trade and intercultural communication, interpretation is widely used as a necessary tool in some business occasions. The high demand for Chinese-English interpretation has also increased accordingly in recent years. Interpretation research has been built on the basis of multidisciplinary research, involving linguistics, psychology and sociology. The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of the application of schema theory in teaching C-E interpretation. This study provides some evidence and interpreting examples of application of schema theory in terms of language schemas, formal schemas, and content schemas, as well as a three-stage workshop, namely preparation, training programs, and post-training enhancement, so as to shed light on some practical implications for interpreters, teachers and students. Effectively implementing of schema theory in C-E interpretation not only promotes oral output accuracy through words and information parsing, but also restructure information into an easier-perceived format, to solve the problem of vague oral expression. Therefore it is necessary for interpreters to clarify the content and characteristics of schema theory, receive systematic training, and proactively establish as well as activate as many schemas as possible to improve the efficiency and quality of C-E interpretation.

Healthcare, societal structures, the economy, education, and communication have been deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, its impact extends to the various language aspects. This study aims to explore how the pandemic has influenced language use in communication, education, and technology, especially in Arabic language. The research investigates the semantic changes that occur in certain expressions due to the pandemic. Moreover, this study examines how translators navigate challenges when translating new English terms and expressions into Arabic using the Skopos Theory. Utilizing a qualitative approach, data were collected from various social and mass media sources. In conclusion, the research findings suggest the creation of new vocabulary and semantic shifts. Additionally, Arabic, like all languages, evolves in translation, leading translators to use various methods for accurate rendering of terms and expressions.

: This article is about the linguistic theories that reflect the etymological, functional, semantic, cognitive and comparative analysis of the existing reduplicative elements in the English and Uzbek languages. The presence of reduplicative elements in the English language in various fields of linguistics is shown. The tasks of research is to study the linguistic features of reduplication in modern English and Uzbek, including the emergence of reduplicative words, the process of creating a grammatical form, as well as structural-semantic peculiarities; to describe the lexical-semantic features and functions of reduplication in the text in the context of speech activity; comparative clarification of linguistic and pragmatic factors in the connection of word-formation elements by analyzing the internal linguistic features of reduplicative words in each of the compared languages; to divide repeated words expressing different semantic meanings into lexical-semantic groups; determining inter-linguistically compatible and different models of reduplicative semantic units in English and Uzbek languages; studying the morph-phonological structure of reduplicative units in comparable languages. It has been demonstrated that reduplication plays an important role in the development of Uzbek and English lexicons based on internal capabilities. It has been convincingly established that the phenomenon of reduplication is one of the active linguistic processes at the current stage of development of these languages, according to the classification of reduplicative words in the English and Uzbek languages based on lexical categories. Based on the further achievements of world linguistics, the system of formation of reduplication in the English and Uzbek languages, the structural-semantic nature of the repetition, and the types and models of reduplicative words have been explained in detail.
