ON THE ISSUE OF PARADIGM SHIFT IN LINGUISTICS

Abstract

The article discusses an issue of paradigm shift in different periods of the history of language science. In this regard, the interpretation of the concept of paradigm itself and the history of the emergence of this concept in the meaning in which it is perceived in modern linguistics is given. It also traces the sequence of the formation of various paradigms in linguistics as a consequence of various models of problem formulation and methods of solving them in the study of language. The author argues that along with the paradigms traditionally designated in linguistics (comparative-historical, systemic-structural and anthropocentric), the priority of which is determined depending on the goals and objectives, it is necessary to single out a descriptive-normative, or pragmatic paradigm as an independent one, since it accompanies every study, whatever its goals and objectives it did not set itself before itself.
