Abstract
The present research featured the family of words as a complex unit within the framework of military terminology. The article introduces a new method for studying high-frequency English-language military terms, where terminological units are systematized by the family of words. English-language military terminology is constantly changing. As a result, it remains understudied and requires structuring. The research objective was to structure military vocabulary as blocks, each representing a certain family of words. Military term blocks were selected from modern lexicographic sources. The study involved etymological, semantic, and word-formation analyses. The family of words proved to be a microsystem that combines grammatical, word-formation, and lexical relations. The authors structured cognate high-frequency English military terms as microsystems, i.e. families of words with peaks -bat-, -defend-, -arm-, etc.
