Digitalization Of Textile And Sewing Terminology In The Uzbek Language: Challenges And Perspectives

Abstract

This article explores the process of digitalizing textile and sewing terminology in the Uzbek language, focusing on linguistic, cultural, and technological challenges. The study highlights the importance of developing digital terminological resources for industrial communication, translation accuracy, and the preservation of linguistic diversity. Drawing on corpus linguistics, computational modeling, and AI-assisted tools, the research outlines methods for collecting, classifying, and digitizing Uzbek sewing terms. The findings reveal issues such as equivalence gaps, polysemy, structural differences between Uzbek and English terms, and the need for standardized digital frameworks. The paper concludes by proposing strategies for creating a bilingual digital corpus and establishing sustainable methods for integrating Uzbek sewing terminology into global databases.
