ENGLISH-AMERICAN BORROWINGS IN RUSSIAN MILITARY TERMINOLOGY

Abstract

The article analyzes the state of knowledge of problems of borrowing foreign-language military terminology in modern science, studies the history of the appearance of Anglicisms in the Russian-language military thesaurus with an analysis of the conditions and specifics of the genesis of this process, as well as the typology of English-language borrowings in the field of military affairs. The essence and types of borrowings from the donor language to the recipient language are determined. The prerequisites for the transfer of foreign language terms to the borrowing language are highlighted. A wide range of examples of Anglicisms in the Russian-speaking military terminology is presented, especially in the naval sphere, due to Russia’s historical ties with Great Britain, which have been strengthened since the 16th century.
