Annotation: Currently, the life of military societas is of an increased interest in society in various issues, in particular – the peculiarities of communication of the language personality of the said society’s representative. The article is devoted to the analysis of the variability of nicknames of modern Russian servicemen. The research material included the linguistic and lexis obtained by questioning and by direct interviewing of cadets of Russian military higher educational institutions in two stages with a time interval of 8 years, which allows drawing objective and reliable conclusions on the nature of the dynamics of the existence of nickname nominations in military societas. Semantic groups of nicknames, characteristics of the structure, features of functioning, psychological attitude of the carriers and the environment are given. Based on the comparative analysis, conclusions were drawn about the similar and distinctive features of existence and the variability of unofficial military anthroponyms. The results of the study make it possible to identify such features of a language personality as the specificity of human perception in military communication, priority characteristics of the personality as a whole, and features of associative thinking. The research materials can be used to conduct seminars and special courses in both civilian and military higher educational institutions. The experience presented is also important for further research in the field of onomastics, sociolinguistics and linguoculturology.
Keywords: military onomastics, Russian serviceman, nickname, dynamics, structural-semantic aspect, functional-dynamic aspect.
