Abstract

The article analyzes the ways of implementing the category of implicitness in the military professional discourse. The article examines how the degree of implicitness affects the successful exchange of secret data among professionals, the prevention of information leaks, and the observance of the principle of confidentiality. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the tense situation in the world, concerning the ecology of cyberspace at the highest level of statehood, involves the art of preserving the invulnerability of their critical data, even in the most unfavorable development of events. Taking implicitness into account when creating and operating terms in the course of professional communication enables gaining superiority over the enemy, restricting access to special information for the unwanted. Our research is devoted to abbreviations, code designations, and euphemisms that are characterized by a high degree of implicitness. We conducted structural and semantic analysis of implicit terms in related languages (English and German). Our conclusions allow us to assess the relevance, dynamism and influence of implicitness in modelling terms in modern professional languages. The practical significance is the possibility of using the research materials in the course of lexicology, as well as for training military translators (200 words).
