SEMANTIC RELATIONS IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TERMINOLOGY: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF UZBEK AND ENGLISH
Keywords:
artificial intelligence, terminology, semantic relations, synonymy, polysemy, hyponymy, Uzbek language, English language, comparative linguistics.Abstract
This article investigates the semantic relations that structure artificial intelligence (AI) terminology in the Uzbek and English languages, focusing on synonymy, polysemy, and hyponymy. Based on a corpus of 120 AI-related terms drawn from scientific literature and terminological sources in both languages, the study shows that the two systems share a largely parallel semantic hierarchy, since Uzbek AI terminology develops mainly through the translation and adaptation of the internationally established English conceptual system. At the same time, the article identifies language-specific patterns of synonymic competition and polysemy that arise from differing word-formation strategies. The findings are relevant for terminology standardization, technical translation, and AI-related lexicography in Uzbek.
