PHILOSOPHY OF LINGUISTICS AND ITS NATURE
The article examines the nature of the philosophy of linguistics on the basis of the analysis of the categories “language”, “knowledge” and “philosophy”, which are put together in such word combinations as “language of knowledge” and “knowledge of language”, “language of philosophy” and “philosophy of language”, “knowledge of philosophy” and “philosophy of knowledge”. The author justifies the thesis that on the basis of the word combination “language of knowledge” linguistics develops, which transforms into the philosophy of linguistics by the introduction of methodological principles into its structure. The word combination “knowledge of language” supposes the formation of the philosophy of language, where formal-logical principles serve as a method for justifying its conceptions.
