Лингвосинергетика: Quo vadis?
This article analyzes modern linguistic synergetics’ concepts to identify this discipline's main ways and prospects in scientific episteme. The author focuses on the paradigm status and explanatory potential of lingua-synergetic studies. Data for this investigation consists of scientific articles, dissertations and monographs, which set out various versions of the synergistic interpretation of speech activity. As a result of the study, we conclude about the status formation for independent research paradigm in linguistic synergetics, aimed at characterizing the object of linguistic reflection multidimensionality as well as the emergent nature of meaning and form construction in the text as an anthropocentric and at the same time natural object while the complex assembles with subsequent design integrity of the linguistic phenomenon from the simple. At the same time, the explanatory potential of linguistic synergetics we examine in its correlation with the methods of this discipline used within various scientific schools: with the method of positional analysis and of comparing the symmetry/asymmetry/ dissymmetry of textual and/or extralinguistic elements. In addition, the article attempts to analyze the areal distribution of linguistic synergetics studies and concludes that they are concentrated in Eastern European countries mainly.
