Abstract: This article explores the phenomenon of linguistic borrowing in the context of military conflicts, with a particular focus on how war introduces new terms and phrases into languages. By analyzing wars from the 20th and 21st centuries, including World War II and modern-day conflicts, the study investigates how borrowed military terminology becomes part of the lexicon in both combatant and non-combatant countries. The study also considers how these linguistic changes reflect broader socio-political shifts. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between language and conflict, as well as the mechanisms of lexical expansion.
