THE PROBLEM OF LINGUISTIC PERSONALITY IN THE ANTHROPOCENTRIC PARADIGM OF MODERN LINGUISTICS
Abstract
The article explores the problem of linguistic personality within the anthropocentric paradigm of modern linguistics. It analyses the theoretical foundations of anthropocentrism and its impact on understanding language as a manifestation of human consciousness and identity. The study synthesizes cognitive, functional, discourse, and cultural-semiotic perspectives and draws on the works of Karaulov, Wierzbicka, Kubryakova, Halliday, Leech, Kramsch, and Widdowson. The results demonstrate that the anthropocentric paradigm views language as a mechanism for constructing thought and cultural identity.
Keywords
