AbstractWithin the context of contemporary Hispanic linguistics, dialectology is often felt to be an anachronism, a notion grounded in the stereotype of the dialectologist as linguistic butterfly-collector. In fact this view is as unrealistic in the 21st century as the concept of a physician administering leeches and “philtres,” and stems from a failure to acknowledge that dialectology has evolved together with the rest of linguistics. Dialectology as currently practiced is best defined as the response to the question of how and why languages vary regionally and socially. As such, dialectology intersects with, but is not superseded by, sociolinguistics; contemporary dialectology includes theoretical advances in syntax, phonology, phonetics, historical linguistics, and variational linguistics.

Comparative historical linguistics is an approach comprising a set of methods that historians who have training in linguistics employ to reconstruct histories for periods of history for which written documentation is absent or scant. It is suggested that the use of comparative historical linguistics helped to push against the notion that people living in oral societies had to be deemed prehistorical, a category popularized in the 19th century, because it is premised that the rich history of the words comprising their languages hold troves of knowledge that historians can access and use to write narratives. Core steps of comparative historical linguistics are explained so that readers understand how researchers use modern-day spoken languages to work backward in time to reconstruct the histories of words that comprise the material items, ideas, and concepts that mattered to speakers of languages prior to the 21st century. The methods’ benefits are discussed, and their limitations highlighted.

The article provides an overview of the key theoretical, methodological and thematic approaches applied in Serbian historical language studies at the beginning of the 21st century. This is a time in which alongside the philological and (or) structural linguistic research orientation, there are also explanatory studies conducted within the framework of cognitive linguistics and linguistic typology. While philological and structural linguistic descriptions may ask what happened in a language, explanatory (cognitive and typological) studies seek to ask why and how something happened. Explanatory historical linguistic studies, therefore, set out to explain the causes and mechanisms of language changes.

The scientific paradigm of the 21st century has acquired anthropocentric drift. In modern linguistic studies, the anthropocentric approach also occupies a dominant position: the researcher’s attention is refocused from objects of cognition (lingual units of different levels) to the subject; thus, linguists analyze an individual in language and language in an individual. The article presents an attempt to define the range of problems of modern linguistic diachronic researches about lingual personality, lingual consciousness, the language of the epoch. The preconditions of involving the concept of "lingual personality" in the research arsenal of historical linguistics are analyzed. It has been found out that the text becomes a key material for studies of historical lingual personology. The language of ancient texts is studied as the expression and result of creativity of lingual personality. Through the ancient texts of the preaching genre, the object of linguistic analysis in studies, which are analyzed in article, gradually "visualized" church-religious picture of the world as an element of the lingual picture of the world, there is an opportunity to analyze changes in it, to study the specificity of religious (confessional) linguistic personality, from religious communication at that time. It is defined that the prospective research direction is the lexicographic direction of lingual personology; the possibilities of studying the language of the epoch based on texts are analyzed. Key words: anthropocentric linguistic, lingual personology, lingual personality, lingual consciousness, the language of the epoch, written monuments.
