Dialectics of language in A.F. Losev`s linguistic works

Abstract

The article deals with the linguistic theory of A.F. Losev – the famous philosopher and philologist, a specialist in ancient culture. The purpose of the work is to formulate a general theory of language based on the analysis of numerous articles by A.F. Losev on the history and theory of classical languages and modern structuralism. A comparative analysis of the language facts and formulated conclusions presented in the articles showed that Losev’s works consistently pursue a dialectical approach to language. Language is considered in the context of the mutual unity of the static system and changeable speech.
