Сучасний воєнний дискурс: процеси неологізації

Abstract

The article deals with the peculiarities of modern military discourse. The views of modern linguists on the definition of military and military discourse are analyzed. The classification of new items of discourse of the Russian-Ukrainian war is studied, in particular, the established expressions and phraseological units are presented, new meanings of familiar words are revealed. The neologisms that reflected the tragic events in the life of our country are characterized. Attention is focused on the increased interest in the problem of enriching the vocabulary with the help of neologisms, which are a kind of indicator of linguistic development. The concept of «military discourse» in its traditional and modern forms is considered. The linguistic analysis of the material allowed us to distinguish the discourse of the military about the war (the genre of «report» or «summary»), politicians about the war (a kind of political discourse in the genre of «interview»), the discourse of the media covering military operations, and partially – educational, national, gender, philological, etc. It is emphasized that the basis of military vocabulary is still made up of terminological units, i.e. terms. However, the increased interest in the problems of enriching the vocabulary can be explained by the importance of neologisms, which are a kind of indicator of linguistic development. It is noted that military discourse is represented by the use of emotional linguistic units, which maximally express the author's subjective and emotional attitude to phenomena, events, ideas and images. It is noted that the priority of the emotional component over the rational component contributes to the widespread use of oppositions.
