PARADIGMATIC FOUNDATIONS OF THE LINGUISTICS OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE 21ST CENTURY

The paper proposes and defends the definition of the paradigm of scientific research in modern linguistics as evolutionary-informational-phenomenological science. The factors contributing to the appearance of such a term are given and substantiated. Among them is the transdisciplinary nature of modern scientific activity, centered around the need to reproduce a holistic picture of the world. As a result of this mode of modern scientific cognition, the very system of knowledge is complicated, which requires the transition of scientific ideas to the level of more abstract categories. Along with the established notions of methodology and theory, the term paradigm is more actively used. However, the case of the number and composition of modern paradigms of scientific knowledge still remains open, including in linguistics. The diversity of views on the linguistic paradigm is mainly limited to its three implementations: comparative-historical, system-structural, anthropocentric. However, it should be borne in mind that in the new civilizational and sociotechnical reality the role of linguistic science has radically and unprecedentedly changed, which has already adapted such concepts as evolutionary, informative, phenomenological. Theoretical rethinking of general scientific ideas about language, establishing close links between linguistics and global social and socio-technological processes occurring in the network-centric world, encourage the authors to qualify the modern linguistic paradigm as evolutionary-informational-phenomenological. Such approach provides an epistemological balance between empiricism and metaphysics, introduces the methodology of linguistics to the sciences close in principle to the scientific disciplines of nature
