Discursive conditionality of the linguistic consciousness of Russian-speaking and foreign-speaking military specialists (according to psycholinguistic experiment data)

The aim of the research is to identify the features of images of linguistic consciousness of Russian-speaking and foreign-speaking military specialists from Kazakhstan and Mali who are mastering academic military-educational discourse. The material of the research was the associative potential of the stimulus words "Service" and "Assembly", obtained as a result of a free associative experiment. The main attention is paid to the study of the discursive conditionality of the linguistic consciousness of military personnel; the nature of matching and non-matching reactions of respondents is analyzed. The scientific novelty of the research: for the first time, the features of the linguistic consciousness of military specialists studying in the same educational institution but possessing the Russian language to varying degrees are described. As a result, it was established that the linguistic consciousness of specialists mastering academic military-educational discourse is discursively determined. Russian-speaking and foreign-speaking military specialists, with a common professional knowledge base, have different culturally determined ideas about basic professional concepts. The lexeme "Service" is perceived by military personnel who are native speakers and military specialists from Kazakhstan through the prism of moral and ethical categories; by military personnel from Mali, who are unfamiliar with Russian military culture, as professional activity. The prototypical image of "Assembly" among military specialists from Russia and Kazakhstan is anxiety; among Malians, the leading associations are formed under the influence of their native professional culture.
