The rapid pace of technological advancement has brought about significant changes in languages, as speakers and writers adapt existing vocabularies to describe emergent phenomena. This study investigates the processes and outcomes of semantic shifts in words related to technology in three typologically and culturally distinct languages: English, Uzbek, and Russian. Through a comparative, corpus-based examination, we explore how words associated with communication, computation, and digital tools have undergone meaning changes over the past several decades. We draw on semantic change theories, historical linguistics, and sociolinguistic frameworks, examining the influence of language contact, borrowing, and cultural context in shaping lexical semantics. The analysis uses corpora such as the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), the Uzbek National Corpus, and the Russian National Corpus, along with dictionaries and lexicographic resources. Our results highlight distinct pathways of semantic shift across these three languages, reflecting both global technological influences and local linguistic ecologies. We conclude by emphasizing the need for continuous scholarly attention to semantic evolution, as it offers insights into how speakers conceptualize and navigate the accelerating landscape of digital innovation.
