Аннотация: The subject of the research is specific nature of national specificity manifestation of the lacunae belonging to different parts of speech. The purpose is to describe the thematic groups of Russian-English verbal, substantive and attributive lacunae relating to the military sphere. To bring to light the national peculiarity the system of formalized indexes is used. The research novelty is connected with revealing and testing new formalized parameters within the groups of lacunae that have not been studied from such perspective. In the course of the research we made use of the following methods: the continuous sampling method from a lexicographical source, the quantitative analysis method, comparative analysis and comparative-parametric method of linguistic research. The theoretical importance of the research is determined by the fact that methods of comparative description have got further amplification. The indexes are used to determine quantitative characteristics of national peculiarity. The results we obtained can be utilized in practice of teaching professionally oriented translation, comparative typology of the Russian and English languages and be used for further inter and intralinguistic research. Through the prism of the indexes conclusion about the degree of the groups’ national specificity is drawn.

Аннотация: Предметом исследования служат особенности проявления лакунарности в сфере военной лексики. Цель работы – описание анализируемой группы русско-английских глагольных лакун по тематическому и типологическому принципам и выявление степени лакунарности данной группы. Проведённое исследование позволило выявить специфику типологической классификации межъязыковых лакун, представляющих военную сферу. Полученные результаты могут быть востребованы в практике преподавания русского и английского языков как родных и как иностранных, а также теории и практике перевода курсантам военных вузов. В процессе исследования использовались следующие методы: метод сплошной выборки языкового материала из лексикографических источников, метод сопоставительного анализа и метод количественного анализа. Новизна проведённого исследования обусловлена выявлением перечня лакунарных признаков в границах ранее не изученной с этой точки зрения группы глагольных лакун в военной сфере. Исследование выявляет большую степень номинативной непредставленности группы в частеречных рамках глагола, а также показывает ряд признаков для соответствующих уровней и ступеней. Специфика типологии лакун рассматриваемой части речи необходима для сравнения национальной специфики лакун различной частеречной отнесённости в рамках военного дискурса.

In the course of the research the author has used the following methods: the continuous sampling method to select the language sample from lexicographical sources, the method of comparative analysis and the method of quantitative research. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author defines a list of lacuna characteristics in a group of military verbal lacunaes. The results of the research demonstrate a large degree of the nominative representability of a group of part-of-speech verbs as well as describe a list of characteristics for associated levels and steps.
