War linguistics as a new lingosynergetic field: responding to the challenges of our times

This study explores war linguistics as a new field in applied linguistics, reflecting the unique characteristics of linguistic representation of military art through mass media. The paper identifies potential approaches that define the substantive and informative aspects of military linguistics, converging withmilitary discourse in an existential challenge addressed by science. Accordingly, the subject of military linguistics research includes linguistic tools of operational art theory (operations and combat actions), tactical theory (preparation and conduct of battle), and strategic theory (military management), oriented towards accurate interpretation of the military context in media coverage. The conceptual framework of war linguistics is outlined, demonstrating that all concepts function cyclically, maintaining a balance between the interrelation and interdependence of political subjects, political processes, and elements of military discourse. Drawing on the methodologies of military strategy and tactics, as well as linguistic pragmatics, the study identifies key concepts such as military communication, military discourse, militarypolitical terminology, military-political text, and military journalism.It is concluded that within the study of linguistic phenomena in military discourse and military journalism, the political strategies of countries, and corpus patterns, the text is a product of war linguistics and represents the pinnacle of contextual similarity in clustered paradigms in the realms of politicallinguistics, territory and resources, history and culture, ideology, and economic policy. In military journalism, various linguistic levels are influenced by the Russo-Ukrainian war, characterized by new trends in interpreting linguistic changes due to the numerous appearances of war-related collocations innewspaper publications.
