This article represents the first linguistic study that substantiates the phenomenon of linguopolitical synergy of the means of war language in mutual determinacy with other external system. The proposed analysis of texts of official business, publicistic, and artistic styles serves as a methodological basis for clarifying the mechanisms of its implementation at the macro- and micro-levels. It has been found that at the macro level, all elements of the system, gravitating toward an attractor, are influenced by functional-semantic amplification, linguistic autocatalysis, language turbulence, semantic bifurcation, and discourse entropy, which ultimately manifests itself in four types of interaction: positive, reinforcement synergy, negative, and ambivalent. The culmination of this process is the synergetic interaction of war language with political, social, historical, ideological, and wartime supersystems. It has been shown that at the micro level, linguopolitical synergy, caused by internal processes of consolidation, diffusion, confrontation, and particularly resonance, shapes the semantic architectonics of texts of different historical periods. During the World War I, linguopolitical synergy of the means of war language expressed a call for maintaining calm and prudence, which was reflected in arguments in favor of preventing a major European war. In the period of the World War II, the linguopolitical synergy of the means of war language formally performed a stabilizing function by appealing to the concepts of honor, law, and the defense of the people. However, the rhetoric of defense gradually escalated into acts of violence. During the Russian-Ukrainian war, linguopolitical synergy of the means of war language shapes a coherent communicative space aimed to resist the manipulative influence of the aggressor state. It serves as a foundation for the resolute condemnation of war crimes and Russia’s use of prohibited methods of warfare, while also articulating Ukraine’s position as a state defending its sovereignty based on the principles of international law. It is precisely the toolkit of linguopolitical synergetics that has made it possible to identify the transition of the system from a chaotic to a stable state, which was manifested in: the archival document of World War I “Kaiser Wilhelm and Czar Nicholas Exchange Frantic Telegrams, Trying to Avoid WWI” (1914); the World War II-era publication by The Guardian titled “Britain at war with Germany” (1939); the UN General Assembly resolution “UN Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 23 February 2023” concerning the Russian-Ukrainian war; the UN Security Council document “Maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine” (2023); and the publicistic book of Bob Woodward “WAR” (2024).
