THE CONCEPT OF «ANTHROPOCENTRISM» IN MODERN LINGUISTICS

The article examines the Modern linguistics studies language from an anthropocentric perspective, as language captures all changes that occur to humans. Anthropology studies the physical and cultural development of humanity, and therefore distinguishes between physical and cultural anthropology. Physical anthropology studies the biological origin of man and his evolution. Cultural anthropology is concerned with the formation and development of human culture, and in particular, studies the way of life, mentality, national character, and spiritual, social, and labour activity. The verbal expression of reality varies from nation to nation, which is due to the specific historical and social conditions of their development.
