Summary/Abstract: Current rationality and knowledge, propelled by discoveries in all cultural-civilizational sciences and by globalization processes, invalidates several paradigms/theories/doctrines/schools as well as any monistic and/or separating reductionism and highlights a three-dimensional Real-Rational-Relational dynamism, profiling inter-/trans-disciplinary and integrative (poly)paradigms. Thus, current linguistics tries to overcome internal oppositions (oppositional dichotomies: language-speech, paradigmatic-syntagmatic, synchronic-diachronic, etc.) as well as external ones such as onomazein (to name) - legein (to represent) (Plato): subject-object, subject - subject, etc.) by orienting itself towards a paradigm of the interconnectionist complexity of human nature. Current linguistics (following the years of 1980s-1990s of the 20th century) transgresses the post/Sausurian stage by projecting new trends/dimensions/approaches/theories in gnoseology, epistemology and linguistic methodology. Therefore, following some research and authors, we shall try to identify some new paradigmatic trends in the scientific evolution of linguistics as well as their concertation with some integrative theories/paradigms in view of the polytropic perception of Reality and Logos (in the ancient Greek sense: language + thought), as well as the propagation of the complementarity and epistemological co-relativity of the philosophy of language.
