Summary/Abstract: The author considers the impact of postmodernism on the contemporary humanities, especially on the theoretical linguistics. The main thesis of the paper can be formulated as follows: postmodernism contributes to the fact that in linguistics increasingly there are such tendencies, like mudding the subject of research, dispense with the ‘directives of language’, i.e. the disuse of conventional scientific language, violations of the requirement of statements verifiability, breaking the rules of communication. The author examines the elements of postmodern science on example of several directions of modern linguistics: cultural linguistics (linguoculturology), ethnolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and discourse linguistics.
