Abstract
The purpose of this research is to explore the phenomenon of military and political discourse as a multi-level communicative practice integrating elements of political rhetoric and military terminology. The author focuses on the institutional nature of the discourse, its sociocultural characteristics, and methods of legitimizing the use of force in international relations. Key features of military-political discourse are identified: the polarization of “us” and “them” images, dramatization of threats, emphasis on historical continuity, and the use of emotional and symbolic arguments. The analysis of translation challenges reveals difficulties in interpreting terms and metaphors due to cultural and linguistic differences.
