D. N. Ovsyaniko-Kulikovsky and problems of modern linguistics

Abstract

The relevance of the article is determined by its historiographical purpose – to show that a number of provisions of the concept of D. N. Ovsyaniko-Kulikovsky were ahead of their time and developed thoroughly only in modern interdisciplinary areas of Linguistics. These provisions emphasized that artistic speech is a psychological activity of a person, which is influenced by socio–cultural factors via specific combinations with individual psychological factors in the personality of each creator. That is why the researcher strives to study the problems of artistic creativity as an integral system of "psychology of language, thought and creativity". This approach is based on the deep conviction that all elements of the human psyche are increasingly synthesized evolutionarily, and only this leads to the appearance of personality. The research is based on the material of the scientist’s articles and articles of a number of authors of "Issues of Theory and Psychology of Creativity" in 1907–1923.
