Theoretical Issues of Anthropocentrism in the Context of the Development of Modern Linguistic Science

Abstract

This article is dedicated to the study of the anthropocentric
approach in linguistics, which examines language through the prism of the triads “language – human – communication,” “language – human – thinking,”
and “language – human – culture.” The work emphasizes the importance
of an interdisciplinary analysis of discourse, integrating various
linguistic fields such as text linguistics, communicative linguistics, cognitive
linguistics, linguistic conceptology, and linguistic cultural studies. The
main methodological principles of modern linguistics include anthropocentrism,
expansionism, functionalism, and explanatoriness. The article
also addresses the issue of differentiating between text and discourse,
asserting that discourse includes extralinguistic factors such as situational
context, communication purpose, and sociocultural conditions. The work
proposes a layered model of literary discourse, encompassing semantic-
stylistic, communicative-pragmatic, cognitive, and aesthetic-cultural
levels, highlighting the necessity of a comprehensive analysis of both
the internal linguistic parameters of the text and the external contextual
factors.
