- Abstract
The effective cooperation of countries engaged in peacekeeping missions depends on many conditions and factors, including a common working language and a set of standards among military forces participating in peacekeeping operations. This article provides an overview of previous studies on the development of military discourse and English for the military. It demonstrates that linguistic compatibility is essential for achieving operational alongside technical interoperability. The study explores the international peacekeeping discourse to ensure the complete linguistic compatibility of Ukrainian peacekeeping units with their allies. It offers a profound analysis of English peacekeeping documentation maintained according to UN and NATO standards, outlining their basic features and usage. It reveals various types of military texts, exploring their functional purposes that indicate semantic features and linguistic characteristics essential for effective communication in peacekeeping missions. The research suggests an in-depth examination of the structure of military texts, providing further analysis aimed at developing the military sublanguage and standardizing Ukrainian military terminology. The results of this study can serve as a groundwork for future investigations of different aspects of international peacekeeping discourse, being particularly useful for military translators and other specialists involved in multinational peacekeeping operations.
