Aim. To investigate the conflict military and political discourse, in implementation of which the contrasting aspects of linguistics are integrated, being the components of the communicative activities of participants of social-verbal interaction.

Methodology. The conflict military and political environment is studied in a communicative situation as an forming specificity of values manifestations within a certain culture, development of the system of individual evaluation of participants of communication by opposite pragmatic vectors. Linguistic cultures are considered by the determinants of development of communicative activities of participants and discourse in general. The methodology of the research is based on a basic system and activity approach applied to the study of conflict military and political discourse. Cognitive and communicative, pragmatic and linguocultural methods are used as the main ones. The empirical material presented was reviewed using linguistic and component analysis methods in combination with opposing and comparative techniques.

 Results. Based on the study of the phenomenon of conflict military and political discourse in the communicative space of different linguistic cultures, the integrative element in the development of verbal and non-verbal actions of participants-opponents is revealed, which is the communicative potential of the implementation of opposite linguistic cultures in the actualization of cognitive strategies of constructing political discourse. In the course of the research, it was established that pragmatic indicators of communicative activity based on opposing cultural and value preferences act as characteristic features of conflict linguistic cultures in the role of means of communicative representation. The conflict is interpreted as a communicative phenomenon formed within the framework of the social-verbal interface of communicative activities, due to the significant difference in linguistic cultures, cultural worldviews and values of the participants in the discourse.

Research implications. The theoretical significance of the study is explained by the contribution to the scientific study of conflict discourse, based on research in the field of the conflict military and political discourse. The presented information allows to consider the conflict in the permissible reality of implementation of linguistic cultures, which is a determinant for the formation of communicative activities of the participants-opponents and the development of the conflict military and political discourse.
