The U.S. military idiom semantic cryptolality (as exemplified in English)

Angaleva Mariya Anatolievna  (PhD in philology, assistant professor of the Military University of the Russian Federation Defense Ministry)

The point that success of cross-cultural interaction is preconditioned both by a communicator’s linguistic competence and his background knowledge is hardly to be questioned. This study dwells on the U.S. military subcultural environment and its unique linguo-cultural manifestations. Illustrative materials show that the army idiom, ascending to the cultural-historical heritage of the military society, is typical of cryptolality. This article delivers an analysis of such distinctive phenomena of an American soldier’s "verbal passport” as lexico-phraseological units, military socio-cultural dialect units, precedent nominations, army clichés and mottos of arms and branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Keywords:ethnos; the US army subculture; service member; army sublanguage; army idiom; cryptolality; cryptolality.
