Digital Borrowings as a Factor of Intercultural Dialogue: A Linguistic Analysis of Russian and Uzbek Internet Discourse
Keywords:
digital borrowings, internet discourse, intercultural communication, Russian, Uzbek, AnglicismsAbstract
This study investigates digital borrowings in Russian and Uzbek internet discourse and their role in intercultural communication. Based on a corpus of approximately 10,000 text fragments from social media and online platforms (2022–2025), the research applies content analysis, comparative analysis, discourse analysis, and descriptive linguistics. The findings show that English is the primary source of digital borrowings. Russian demonstrates morphological integration of borrowed elements, while Uzbek adapts borrowings through agglutinative affixation. The study concludes that digital borrowings function as both linguistic tools for naming new technological realities and as mechanisms that facilitate intercultural communication and the formation of a shared digital space.
