Abstract
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.
