HOW MODERN TECHNOLOGIES (MACHINE TRANSLATION, VOICE ASSISTANTS) INFLUENCE LANGUAGE STRUCTURE AND COMMUNICATION

Аннотация

This research explores how machine translation tools and voice assistants reshape language use and communication patterns. While these technologies offer convenience and accessibility, they also introduce significant changes to how individuals structure language, interact, and acquire linguistic competence. Using theoretical insights and empirical observations, the paper analyzes both the linguistic and socio-communicative consequences of interacting with such technologies. The findings suggest a dual impact: improved access to multilingual communication alongside simplification of language, altered communication styles, and risks to linguistic expressiveness. The study emphasizes the need for responsible integration of AI-driven tools in daily communication to preserve linguistic richness.
