Internationalisms as (un)necessary terminological refuge in the military terminology

Istraživački interes u ovome radu usmjeren je na internacionalizme u hrvatskome vojnom nazivlju. U prvome se redu tematiziraju zastupljenost i geneza njihova naslojavanja u terminološkome sustavu te utjecaj engleskih leksičkih modela na daljnje oblikovanje hrvatskih istovrijednica internacionalizmima. Posebno se progovara o paušalnoj predodžbi da se hrvatsko vojno nazivlje u minimalnoj mjeri izgrađuje internacionalizmima (i općenito posuđenicama) te o izvanjezičnim utjecajima kroz povijest na njegovo oblikovanje. Nakon dijakronijsko-sinkronijskoga uvida u pripremljeni korpus sagledavaju se rezultati sraza hrvatskih predloženica i međunarodnih ustaljenica u jezičnoj praksi. Na kraju, predlaže se teorijski pristup daljnjoj izgradnji vojnoterminološkoga sustava internacionalizmima kao terminološkoga sustava sui generis, u simboličko-identitetskome smislu.This research seeks to address internationalisms in Croatian military terminology. The primary topic of discussion is their volume and genesis of their stratification in the terminological system, and the influence the English lexical models exert on further creation of Croatian equivalents by resorting to internationalisms. The paper particularly discusses the generalized notion that Croatian military terminology is to a minimal degree built by the use of internationalisms (loanwords in general). Furthermore, the research investigates the extra-linguistic factors that predestined its evolution and – after diachronic and synchronic insight into the prepared corpus – the results of the clash between native Croatian proposals and well-rooted internationalisms in language practice are examined. Bearing in mind that military terminology is – from symbolic and identity vantage point – a sui generis terminological system, a theoretical approach for its further and possible development by internationalisms is proposed
