The paper considers the opportunity to reveal some elements of the associative verbal model
of professional identity of military servicemen using the example of the associative field of one
stimulus. Associative field ENEMY obtained by means of a free associative experiment among
cadets of a military institute in Siberia has been analyzed and compared with analogous associative
fields in some associative bases that are the most representative for the Russian linguistic
conscience, that were created in different years, and that were obtained from experiments with
different experimental groups. Lexico-semantic variations, zones of semantic gestalt, and elements
of the cognitive structure are compared in the associative fields. Based on the comparative
analysis of the associative fields taken from different associative bases, an attempt was made
to show how a professional variant of the linguistic view of the world influences the understanding
and usage of the word «enemy».
