Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of borrowings and internationalisms in the field of aviation terminology. The rapid development of aviation as a global industry has led to the formation of a specialized vocabulary, a significant part of which consists of English terms adopted in different languages. The paper analyzes the linguistic mechanisms of borrowing, the degree of assimilation of international terms, and their role in ensuring effective communication in professional aviation discourse. Special attention is paid to the influence of English as a lingua franca on the unification of aviation terminology and to the challenges of translation and adaptation in national linguistic systems. The findings highlight the significance of internationalisms for the standardization of aviation communication and for ensuring safety in the global aviation environment.
