STYLISTIC FEATURES OF MILITARY TEXTS IN ENGLISH AND THE WAYS OF THEIR TRANSLATION

This study is devoted to the study of the features of translation of specific military vocabulary from English into Azerbaijani. The quality and accuracy of military translation are determined, first of all, by the quality of translation of military terminology and abbreviations. The relevance of the study lies in the need to translate the continuously expanding terminological vocabulary of military vocabulary, linguistic research in which, in our opinion, is insufficiently conducted. The main characteristic of the concept of a military term, in addition to other terminological properties, is a special sphere of functioning, which in itself, along with the definitive function and systematicity, is a feature that allows us to classify a particular word or phrase as a military term. Also, the military sphere is characterized by the widespread use of abbreviations, the diversity of their types and the high rate of renewal. In addition to extra-linguistic factors, such as the development of science and technology, the emergence of various abbreviated lexical units is explained by the "principle of least effort" or the "law of economy of speech means". The most common methods of translating simple and complex (multi-component) terms are lexical-semantic substitutions (modulation, generalization, specification), calquing and descriptive translation. The use of descriptive translation is due not only to the different lexical-syntactic compatibility of language units, but also to the differences in the military structure of the two countries and, as a consequence, the absence of certain concepts in the Azerbaijani language.
