New superword language units as an object of linguistic research

Abstract
The article considers superword linguistic units (SU) as integral elements of the Russian language system. Emphasizing the importance of military SU, arising as a result of social, political events and armed conflicts of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the article focuses on the phenomenon of neologization, which is becoming more active in the context of digitalization in an aggravated international situation. The study shows that neologisms not only enrich language, but also perform specific cognitive functions in military discourse. The SU that emerged in this type of discourse are divided into groups depending on their semantics, stylistic coloring and functional features. The neologisms under study can be divided into thematic groups: new names for military strategies and tactics of organization and maneuvering; neologisms naming types of weapons and vehicles used in armed conflicts; names for post-conflict settlement, etc. We have identified more than two hundred substantive and procedural military neologisms and analyzed them using comparative-historical, linguoculturological and linguocognitive research methods, involving the techniques of component and contextual analysis.
