Abstract

The article examines the discourse of migration as a multi-level object of linguistic analysis, which is formed at the intersection of socio-legal, political and communicative levels. Special attention is paid to the REFUGEE concept as a key unit that simultaneously implements legal, cognitive and linguistic functions. Within the framework of the study, the object is the terminological units denoting the phenomena of migration from the occupied territories of Ukraine, which combine special and general linguistic meaning and function in media discourse. The source base was English-language explanatory and terminological dictionaries, as well as a corpus of media texts that reflect modern international and migration issues.The methodological basis of the study is the provisions of terminology, cognitive linguistics and discourse analysis. Approaches to the terminological unit classification by structural and word-formation characteristics (root, derivative, composite, word combinations and abbreviations) were involved.It was established that the terminology of the migration sphere is characterized by a high level of variability and openness to interdisciplinary borrowings (legal, military, social vocabulary). Specific lexical and semantic features were identified, including metaphorical models (migration flow), medical and threat conceptualizations (migration epidemic, demographic stability), as well as euphemistic nominations (temporarily displaced persons).The scientific novelty of the work lies in the combination of terminological analysis with a cognitive-discursive approach, which allows us to trace how the ambivalence of public consciousness regarding migration processes is reflected in language. The results of the study deepen the understanding of the structural and semantic organization of the migration from temporarily occupied territories terminology, determine the mechanisms of its word- formation productivity, and outline the trends in the development of linguistic practices in the context of the Russian Federation’s military aggression against Ukraine as well as the globalized information space.
