Summary/Abstract: The article analyses individual identity and various conception of personal identity in philosophy of language. The aim of this research is to define features of the philosophical-linguistic paradigm, especially constructive approach of the Potebnya philosophy. The metodology of the research includes investigation of personal identity in linguistic studies and scientific press publications as well as comparative approach. The essential characteristics of a holistic personal identity in theories of Potebnya philosophical-linguistic school are defined. Main features of Potebnya philosophy are analyzed in the research, defined the essential characteristics of a holistic personal and multicultural identities. Word and language, according to Potebnya, are a way to create a whole person, and the language retains its inseparability (personality) and transforms identity. On the example of the Kharkov Potebnya school (A. Potebnya, D. Ovsianiko-Kulikovskii, A. Gornfeld, P. Engelmeyer) we see that the problem of personal identity is closely linked with the philosophy of language and philosophy of art, it is in a language we can trace the relation of the antinomies of identity - the constancy and variability, individuality and universality, consciousness and unconsciousness. From this perspective, contemporary Philosophical-Lingvuistic paradigm provides powerful motive of further cultural development and orientation on creative society construction. In Potebnya philosophical school personal identities and social groups are socially constructed. Potebnya argues that personal identities can be understood of long lists of objectively identified cultural attributes. A personal identity in language is characterized by contradictions between the ideal and its embodiment, values and their realization. Philosophy of language by Potebnya emphasizes active, creative and free verse language. Potebnya philosophical school on this basis is trying to build a science of creativity. It treats literature, poetry as a way of expression of a free person. Linguistic activity, according to the Potebnya, is the basis of the activities and is primarily manifested through language and in the language, and the existence of a genuine man, his emancipation is in the linguistic creativity.
