THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PHILOLOGICAL RESEARCH
Abstract
This article examines the role of artificial intelligence in modern philological research. In recent years, artificial intelligence technologies, especially natural language processing, machine translation systems, corpus linguistics tools and large language models, have become increasingly important in the study of language, literature, text, discourse and cultural communication. Philology, as a field that traditionally relies on textual analysis, historical-comparative methods, interpretation and linguistic description, is now entering a new methodological stage under the influence of digital technologies. Artificial intelligence enables researchers to process large volumes of textual data, identify lexical and semantic patterns, compare linguistic units across languages, analyze stylistic features and create digital corpora for further investigation. At the same time, the use of artificial intelligence in philology requires critical thinking, methodological caution and ethical responsibility, because machine-generated results may contain inaccuracies, cultural bias or contextual limitations.
