THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN LOANWORD RESEARCH

The study of loanwords—terms adopted from one language into another—offers valuable insights into linguistic evolution and cultural interactions. Traditional methods of identifying and analyzing loanwords have often been labor-intensive and reliant on expert intuition. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has introduced novel methodologies to enhance and automate these processes. This article explores the integration of AI, particularly machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP), in loanword research, highlighting current advancements, challenges, and future directions.
