Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Recently the interaction of Kazakh and English has become a highly debatable issue in Kazakhstani linguistics. Language contacts tend to result in possible errors both in communication and perception of the linguistic worldview. The paper deals with the analysis of linguistic interference and the way it is represented in Kazakh terminology. Language corpus outcomes stand for the research instrument. #LancsBox 5.1.2 program builds and processes the corpus that involves 1,238 texts from the five Kazakhstani online newspaper platforms’ websites. The research provides the statistics on the number of texts, concordance lines, frequency, collocations, and analysis of the Kazakh terms that feature interference such as ğalamtor, indet, onlaіn, oflain. There are characteristics of the most frequently used terms and their overview in the major corpora of Kazakh and English. The study analyzes influence at phonetic, morphological, syntactical, lexical, and semantic levels in information space terms. Thus, our research presents a novel framework to study linguistic interference through contrastive analysis based on corpus processing outcomes at different language levels in a multilingual environment in Kazakhstan.
