Mechanisms for Enriching the Semantic Field for Computerization and Artificial Intelligence/ أليات إثراء الحقل الدلالي للحوسبة والذكاء الاصطناعي

Abstract

This study is based on examining the means of enriching the vocabulary of the Arabic language within one of its important linguistic domains, namely the semantic field of Computerization and Artificial Intelligence, in light of the technological development experienced by human societies in general, and Arabic-speaking societies in particular, and with a view to meeting the needs of Arabic speakers in this field. The study focuses on defining this semantic field and identifying the principal means through which it can be enriched with the vocabulary required by specialists and those interested in this domain, enabling them to express its key concepts and aspects. The study identifies a number of mechanisms for enriching vocabulary in the field of Computerization and Artificial Intelligence, including: the generation of new terms, the standardization and refinement of terminology, Arabization, semantic development, and the construction of specialized lexicons. The study arrives at several findings, notable among them are: the importance of enriching the semantic field of Computerization and Artificial Intelligence; the necessity of activating the traditional mechanisms of Arabic language development in enriching this field; the need to establish and standardize the terminology of this domain and regulate its meanings; resorting to Arabization when necessary; benefiting from semantic development in enriching this field; and the importance of developing specialized dictionaries dedicated to it.
