WAR AND COMMUNICATION IN THE MILITARY SPHERE
The 75th anniversary of the Soviet people’s victory in the Great Patriotic War once again brings us back to the events of that time and makes us think again about the impact of the war not only on various aspects of human society, the economy, politics and technology, but also on the human consciousness, man’s language and speech activity.During any war, the cognitive and communicative system that provides communication in the military sphere is being refned and developed. Inter-lan-guage communication and translation take on peculiar forms in the context of a military confrontation between “us” and “them.”The Soviet victory in the Great Patriotic War expanded the range of social functions of the Russian language. It became the language of international cooperation, including that in the military sphere, which gave a major boost to translation activities, as well as the development of translation theory and methodology.
