Abstract

This article investigates the historical development of major linguistic paradigms, with particular focus on the comparative-historical, structural-systemic, and anthropocentric approaches. Drawing on foundational works from the 18th to 20th centuries, it outlines how linguistic theory has evolved in accordance with broader scientific and philosophical shifts. The study traces the transition from early comparative research, which sought to uncover genealogical language relations, to structuralism’s focus on internal linguistic organization, and finally to the modern anthropocentric paradigm, which places human cognition, culture, and linguistic personality at the center of analysis. The article highlights the coexistence and complementarity of these paradigms in contemporary linguistic research.
