THE EVOLUTION OF LIGHT INDUSTRY TERMINOLOGY IN ENGLISH: A DIACHRONIC STUDY
This article explores the historical development of light industry terms, examining how technological advancements, evolving industry practices, and societal changes have shaped the lexicon over time. From traditional craft-based terminology to modern digital manufacturing terms, the study traces key linguistic shifts, highlighting the influence of mechanization, globalization, and sustainability trends. The findings reveal that terminology evolves in response to industrial progress, with obsolete terms being replaced by modern equivalents reflecting new technologies and market demands.
