The Impact of Artificial Emotional Intelligence on English Language Interaction: A Neurolinguistics and Pragmatic ApproachAbstract
This study explores the growing role of Artificial Emotional Intelligence (AEI) in shaping English language use, with a focus on its influence on both neurolinguistic processing and pragmatic interpretation. The research aims to understand how emotionally responsive systems affect syntactic patterns, emotional expression, and conversational norms. To address this, the study examines AEI-driven chatbots and digital assistants, analyzing their language output through discourse analysis. The investigation reveals that AEI contributes to more emotionally coherent and engaging dialogue, offering new possibilities for human–machine communication. However, it also highlights challenges such as inconsistencies in natural speech patterns and difficulties in managing indirectness and implied meaning. The findings underscore the dual impact of AEI, showing how it can both enhance and complicate language interaction. By bridging cognitive-linguistic and pragmatic perspectives, the study fills a gap in research on the emotional dimension of AI and its implications for language instruction, communication design, and future linguistic inquiry.
