Abstract:

The book provides an introduction to some basic concepts of linguistic
synergetics, viewed here as a new multidisciplinary research approach to
language studies. It also advances diachronic linguosynergetics, focusing on
principles and mechanisms of language change and development, and employing
the methodological integrity of philosophy, linguistics and synergetics.
Diachronic linguosynergetics endeavours to capture language in a state of
change, when a language system follows a non-linear path, through numerous
fluctuations and dissipation, leading out of chaos to order and stability. 

The book considers human language as an open, dynamic, non-linear, and
self-organising system, with all its hierarchical subsystems and elements
coherently interconnected and controlled by governing parameters. Special
emphasis is laid on a variety of change rates on different language levels. As
such, diachronic linguosynergetics is capable of addressing a broad range of
issues concerning language change. It sheds new light on language development
and permits better descriptions of phase transitions, or reconfigurations, of
language as a synergetic megasystem.
