Диахроническая лингвосинергетика - новое направление в изучении истории языка

Abstract

The article stresses the necessity to study language development from a new methodological perspective, namely – within diachronic linguosynergetics, started by the author. Correlation between the traditional “history of a language” and the suggested diachronic linguosynergetics is determined. Subjects for further research are outlined. The purpose of this article is to attract the attention of historians of a language to the necessity of expanding of the category web of the linguistics and opening new perspectives in the study of language dynamics. The possibility of such a conceptual breakthrough lies within interdisciplinary (or rather, transdisciplinary) nature of synergy, the object of its study are complex nonlinear open developing systems of any ontology. In other words, within the synergetic scientific paradigm the data obtained in various sciences studying the peculiarities of the development and functioning of systems both of animated and inanimate nature are synthesized. One of the basic notions of synergy is the notion of self-organization which is the spontaneous arranging of the structure of an open system with complex organization at the point of least stability, known as the bifurcation point. The process of self-organization occurs in the border states of the system, in the so-called phase transitions. The notion of self-organization and the notion of phase transition are inextricably connected with such basic philosophical laws as the law of the passage of quantitative changes into qualitative changes and the law of the negation of the negation (conflict of opposites). It is possible to determine the main vectors for further research within the limits of diachronic linguosynergetics on the material of not only English but also other languages, namely: • chaos and order in the process of cross-language interference; • fractality in the historical word-formation; • typology of force restructuring of a complex system;
