The article deals with the new term “trigger-container” in linguistic steganography. The necessity to introduce this term was brought about by the creation a unique kind of steganographic containers of minimal possible size that would allow for insertion of confidential information into Russian written texts. The introduction of “trigger-containers” is intrinsically interwoven with our ongoing systematic attempt to create a linguistic steganographic term apparatus of describing sense information protection on the basis of linguistic experimentation with a strong scientific foundation. Concurrent use of the proposed steganographic term in praxis in conjunction with the data yielding from linguistic experiments would allow to create a method for concealing sensitive information in Russian written texts that is simultaneously highly secure against automated and expert-driven visual steganalysis as is not dependent on the usage of cryptographic cyphers. The novelty of this research is based on the introduction of the new term “trigger-containers”, which describes a phenomenon that is not touched upon in other research. The goal of the paper is, likewise, the introduction of the term, which allows one to describe the proper theoretical basis of qualitative research in the field of linguistic steganography. We introduce the term “trigger container” which allows to create the basis for our method of conducting perceptive experimental research in the field of linguistic steganography.
