STRUCTURAL AND SEMANTIC PECULIARITIES OF ABBREVIATIONS IN MODERN ENGLISH MILITARY TEXTS

Abstract

Currently the largest percentage of new vocabulary in the advanced and most promising areas of knowledge are terms and abbreviations that allow to save and transfer knowledge in the professional field of activity and carry the main information and semantic meaning. Professionally-oriented literature on military topics is characterized by lexical-grammatical, syntactic specificity, the use of a fairly large number of terms-abbreviations that have a complex structure and allow to convey key information as quickly and concisely as possible. The article contains a structural analysis and semantic classification of abbreviations, which made it possible to consider features of their formation and functioning, as well as to identify certain difficulties associated with graphic design, as well as their content and ambiguity.
