EXPLORING THE ENGLISH VOCABULARY, INCLUDING NEOLOGISMS, WITH RESOURCES OF AI CHATBOTS USED AS MULTITALENTED SUPERDICTIONARIES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper deals with theoretical and, especially, practical aspects of exploring the English vocabulary, including neologisms, with the aid of resources made available by AI chatbots, viewed and used as multitalented superdictionaries. The exposition is divided into four parts, thus: Section 1 offers some general, scene-setting remarks; Section 2 brings a discussion of the whys, whats and hows of exploring properties of, and relations between, individual English words by exploiting AI chatbots; Section 3 brings a discussion of the theory and practice of exploring English neologisms by exploiting AI chatbots; and Section 4 provides an overview of the applied aspects of other important areas of exploration of the English vocabulary, including neologisms, with AI chatbots.
