Abstract
Following Slovenia’s independence, Slovene military language began to develop rapidly. After the country joined NATO, however, it had to face new language requirements and, in particular, the influence of the English language. When it comes to the military technical language, its researchers and users must keep abreast of developments, act in a terminologically harmonized manner and adapt to NATO standards. The article presents an overview of terminological efforts at the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Slovenia. It critically evaluates terminology processes and ways of obtaining terminology, but also emphasizes the need for formally approved standardization procedures and the vital role of a renewed standardization commission. The term-formation typological classification of monolingual Slovene terms frequently found in contemporary military texts points to the necessity for modern and more systematic term acquisition and terminology research procedures, and serves as the basis for the presentation of individual examples of term formation practices in military terminology. Key words Military technical language, standardization, term formation, terminological principles, terminological intervention
