SEMANTIC CONNOTATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TERMS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK

Abstract

Abstract: This article provides a comparative linguistic analysis of the semantic connotation of artificial intelligence terms within English and Uzbek discourse. As artificial intelligence technologies rapidly integrate into global and local socioeconomic structures, the associated terminology undergoes complex processes of semantic extension and emotional-evaluative shift. This study explores how technological nomenclature transitions from purely technical denotations to culture-specific connotations influenced by public perception, media representation, and linguistic adaptation mechanisms. By examining the lexical units through a cognitive-linguistic lens, the paper identifies the structural similarities and divergence points in how metaphorical extensions and conceptual mappings shape the understanding of emerging digital realities in both languages. The research yields practical insights for lexicography, technical translation, and computational terminology harmonization.
