This investigation reveals key features of report genre in military archival documents, suggesting a structured approach.
This study investigates the structural-semantic organization of the genre “report” based on German-language military archival documents from the Great Patriotic War (1941-1943). The research is framed within text theory and textology, drawing on the works of both domestic and international linguists, including advancements in German textological science. The analysis encompasses 1,600 report texts from a total corpus of 2,400 documents provided by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Special attention is given to identifying typological features, linguistic tools, and functional characteristics of this genre within the context of professionallyoriented military discourse. Utilizing methods of structural-semantic analysis, comparative approaches, and discourse analysis, it has been established that reports exhibit a strict internal organization that ensures coherence, structural hierarchy, and semantic connectivity. The analysis of linguistic organization reveals that report texts are characterized by a high degree of standardization: predominance of nominative constructions, use of specialized terminology, clichés, and minimal emotional coloring. The identified features will further enhance the efficiency of translating and processing military archival documents.
