The article identifies and describes the main trends and principles of modern linguistics such as 
integrativity, anthropocentricity, communicativeness, dialogicness, discursiveness, culturecentricity, 
interest in deep language knowledge, which interact even in one research.
Taking the human factor into account is the most important characteristic of post-nonclassical 
science, and therefore the anthropocentric vector of modern linguistic research contributes to the 
emergence of most of these principles.
In the twenty-first century, all humanities including linguistics are changing under the new demands 
of the modern social situation: first of all, due to a higher level of synthesis of humanities, their 
integrativity not only among themselves, but also with natural sciences. For such a complex research 
object as language, representatives of many sciences can contribute — from molecular biology, genetics, 
neurophysiology and psychology to anthropology, neurolinguistics and analytical philosophy. Research 
specialization should be found, as V.I. Vernadsky points out, “not in science, but in problems”, because 
the removal of information barriers between the sciences gives a powerful impetus for the research 
development.
Thanks to these tendencies and principles, linguistics started exploring the problems that previously 
were not part in its sphere of interest. Now the sphere of interest of linguistics includes everything that 
meets the requirements of sign systems theory and allows to see the deep semantic foundations of 
language, human mentality and culture.
