This article explores the intersection of linguistics and artificial intelligence (AI) with a focus on the scientific foundations of natural language processing (NLP). The study reviews core linguistic principles, discusses their integration into AI-driven NLP systems, and highlights challenges in semantic analysis, syntactic parsing, and machine learning. The paper concludes by emphasizing the future potential of NLP in advancing human-computer interaction.
