This article analyzes the lexical-semantic phenomena of polysemy, homonymy, synonymy and antonymy in information technology terminology. The study focuses on English IT terms used in computer science, programming, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, telecommunications and digital communication. The research shows that many IT terms are formed through semantic extension, metaphorization and specialization of common words. Terms such as memory, cloud, mouse, window, virus, web, cookie, folder, thread and root demonstrate the dynamic development of information technology terminology..
