THE EMERGENCE OF NEW IT TERMINOLOGY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly influenced modern languages, particularly in the field of information technology (IT). This article examines the emergence of new IT terms under the impact of digital transformation, focusing on their semantic and structural characteristics in English and their adaptation into Uzbek. The study applies a comparative and corpus-based methodology to analyze newly formed and borrowed IT terms related to artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cyber security, and digital platforms. The findings reveal that most new IT terms originate in English and enter Uzbek through transliteration, calque, or semantic adaptation, resulting in noticeable changes in the Uzbek terminological system. The research contributes to the field of terminology studies by proposing a typology of semantic shifts and structural models of new IT terms and highlighting the need for systematic standardization of digital terminology in Uzbek.
