Abstract

The aim of the article is to characterize the emotional concept WAR within the Ukrainian military subculture. The study of the emotional concept WAR is carried out from the standpoint of a comprehensive psycholinguistic approach based on the integration of discourse analysis and psychoanalytic interpretation. Selection of a research approach to concept WAR study as to the problem of professional markedness of emotional language is due to the growing interest for the emotional sphere of consciousness and its impact on the speech activity. An analysis of three successive stages of the emotional concept WAR formation has to be carried out to achieve the aim: 1) obtaining information and formation of primary concepts of emotions; 2) generalization of available information and creation of a general classification system of knowledge; 3) the formation of individual emotional knowledge. It has been proven that the specificity of the emotional concept WAR within the Ukrainian military subculture is the assimilation of altruistic motives and motives of neglect. At the heart of such conglomerate there are, on the one hand, a willingness to sacrifice, a need to give and a sense of responsibility, and on the other hand, an awareness of undervaluing of sacrifice, the fear of being rejected. Dominant motifs in the concept WAR are mental pain and moral suffering, they have a high level of intensity. The motif of neglect acts as means of tacit reproach from a person who is in need of love, care, attention and who tries to get them by invoking people’s sense of social duty. Filling the concept WAR with such senses has a certain pragmatic aspect, which is associated with the existential semantic content and with the corresponding fears that arise from the unconscious: death, sense of live, loneliness, freedom. When a person feels himself neglected then existential fears recede into the background and the realization of his mortality becomes secondary.
