Keywords:
language and technology, linguistic innovation, NLP, AI communication, digital linguistics, language learning, corpus analysisAbstract
The integration of language and technology has profoundly reshaped the landscape of linguistics, altering not only how languages are studied and preserved but also how they are learned and used in daily life. This article explores the evolving relationship between language and modern technologies from a linguistic standpoint, focusing on the theoretical and practical implications of this convergence. By examining current applications such as artificial intelligence, natural language processing, digital communication tools, and educational technologies, the paper illustrates how linguistics benefits from and contributes to technological innovation. The article further reflects on the implications of these advancements for language acquisition, sociolinguistic variation, and the future of linguistic diversity in a rapidly digitizing world.
