Abstract: Based on Yu. S. Stepanov’s conception of the three paradigms in the history of linguistics, philosophy and art (semantic, syntactic and pragmatic), this study highlights the three phases of the linguo-aesthetic turn in the theory of language and in the artistic language experiment of the 20 th century: formal-semantic, functional-syntactic and actional-pragmatic. Analyzed are the creative linguistic techniques used in experimental literary discourse throughout the 20 th century, predominantly in Russian and Anglo-American literature, and the linguistic procedures corresponding to these techniques, discovered in twentieth century linguistics as a path to new theories of language. The research material testifies to complex and productive interactions between experimental-artistic and scientific-linguistic discourses. The creative linguistic techniques of the literary experiment are consistent with the techniques of language analysis in the linguistic theories of the twentieth century.

Keywords: theory of language, language experiment, linguistic creativity, linguo-aesthetic turn
