Abstract

In the paper the boundaries of one philosophical-logical-linguistic tradition are outlined, of the one which has been formed within two and a half thousand years of interest of thinkers in the language and its philosophical problems. The paper investigates the validity of the thesis that the anthropoligacl cultural space in which ethnical languages have been developing forms the base of individualization of the intellectual structure of linguistic forms.

The author lays stress upon the dialectic contradiction which constitues logical-grammatical rules of the ethnic language in the diachronous and synchronous section. This contradiction can be reduced to opposition of intellectual language forms which generalize individual languages and are formed by the subject on the base of the structure of being, alternatively on the base of common psychologic language forms of the given culture.
