During the lecture the scientist acquainted everyone present with the general concepts of linguistics, dwelled on the nuances of language origin and revolution studies, touched upon semiotic systems, and offered a brief outline of the main principles of formation and development of the French linguistic paradigm, its semiotic models: the triad comprising syntactics, semantics, and paradigm; and the trivium consisting of grammar, dialectics and rhetoric.
Within the framework of the event Professor Liudmila Ryzhova also characterized the conceptual-epistemological model of linguistic theory analysis, theoretical paradigm, in particular general rational grammar, comparative-historical, system-structural, and communicative-functional linguistics, as well as methods of their analysis, focal points of interests, paradigm-forming principles of linguistics, etc.
