REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT OF "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" IN THE RUSSIAN NATIONAL CORPUS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of "artificial intelligence" in Russian-language discourse based on the analysis of data from the Russian National Corpus. Cognitive linguistics, as one of the key directions in modern linguistics, views the concept as a complex linguo-mental formation reflecting individual, collective, and cultural representations. Artificial intelligence is a dynamically developing field with a significant impact on various spheres of life, making it a relevant object of linguistic analysis. The main focus is on the semantic analysis of the use of the term "artificial intelligence" for the period from 2003 to 2020. The study revealed a growing interest in the topic, starting in the late 1990s, which is associated with the development of the internet and technology. The term is most frequently found in educational and scientific literature and journalistic writing, indicating its active use in academic and public discussions. In fiction, according to the Russian National Corpus, the topic of artificial intelligence has not yet become widespread. Six semantic modules related to the use of the term are identified: ethics, definition, art, technology, science, and medicine. The greatest attention is paid to ethical aspects, reflecting public concern about the issues of security, morality, and the social consequences of the implementation of technologies. The importance of artificial intelligence in scientific research and medical applications is also emphasized. The article demonstrates that corpus linguistics is an effective tool for studying the linguistic representation of concepts, allowing to identify trends in the perception and discussion of current topics such as artificial intelligence.
