This article examines the main principles and developmental trends of modern linguistics. In the twenty-first century, interdisciplinary integration, the anthropocentric perspective, and the close relationship between language, communication, and culture have become dominant directions within the humanities, including linguistics. The paper analyzes the essence and interconnection of such principles as integrativity, anthropocentrism, communicativity, dialogicity, discursivity, and cultural centrism. Furthermore, the study substantiates the necessity of examining language as an integral system closely related to human consciousness, cognition, and cultural experience. It is argued that contemporary linguistics should be viewed as a complex, cognitively oriented, and culturally grounded integrative discipline.
