LEXICAL BORROWINGS AND NEOLOGISMS IN THE MINING INDUSTRY: THE IMPACT OF AUTOMATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

This study examines the evolution of mining terminology driven by the rapid integration of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Through a corpus based and terminological analysis, it investigates lexical borrowings and neologisms, tracing their etymological origins, semantic shifts, and pragmatic functions within industrial discourse. The research highlights the interplay of globalization, technological innovation, and multilingual communication in reshaping mining lexicons, emphasizing the need for standardized terminological resources to enhance effective communication and education in global mining contexts. The findings underscore the sociolinguistic implications of these changes, particularly in multilingual settings influenced by Uzbek and Russian linguistic traditions.
