CONSIDERATIONS ON THE CONCEPTS OF PREMISE AND HYPOTHESIS IN LINGUISTIC SCIENCE

This paper was written during the course “Introduction to Linguistic Theories and Analysis,” offered by the PPGL – Graduate Program in Linguistics at UFSCAR – Federal University of São Carlos, in February 2026. During the course, we had the opportunity to develop a paper, following the conclusion of the course, with the aim of defining the semantic fields of the two terms mentioned, as well as examining their use within the field of linguistics. Methodologically, the text is structured as a literature review of works addressing science, linguistics, and language, drawn from both physical and digital collections. The primary reference consulted in this approach is Karl Popper’s, The Logic of Scientific Discovery (2013). As intended outcomes of this study, we hope to compile a set of arguments that will, in principle, serve to integrate some of the theoretical frameworks into our doctoral dissertation (in progress, UFSCAR, 2024-2028).

On the formation of linguistic constructivism from Austin to Searle

The article examines the evolution of speech act theory, one of the key ideas of ordinary language philosophy in the twentieth century. The research problem lies in the indeterminacy of the methodological relationship between the concepts of John Austin and John Searle: the question remains open whether Searle’s theory represents a development, a critique, or an independent construction. The aim of the study is to identify the specific nature of the relationship between the two thinkers at the levels of method and content. The methodological framework is based on a comparative analysis of primary sources (Austin’s Harvard lectures of the 1950s and Searle’s "Speech Acts", 1969) combined with elements of conceptual reconstruction. The empirical material includes the classifications of illocutionary acts proposed by both authors, the conceptual apparatus of speech act theory, and its later modifications (indirect speech acts, the concepts of intentionality, Network and Background). The scientific results of the article substantiate the fact that Searle neither explicitly criticizes Austin nor constructs an alternative theory; rather, he engages in "loyal systematization", transforming the teacher’s empirical classifications into a deductive framework. The novelty of the approach lies in the metaphorical conceptualization of this relationship as a shift in semiotic regimes: from impressionistic observation to constructivism (Bauhaus). The conclusion states that Searle’s subsequent turn from the philosophy of language to the philosophy of mind is explained by the exhaustion of systematization itself, rather than by a critical break with his teacher.

The ontological status of personhood in N. A. Berdyaev’s metaphysics

The purpose of the study is to define the central idea of N. A. Berdyaev’s metaphysics by identifying the ontological status of the free creative person. The article examines four approaches to studying N. A. Berdyaev’s intellectual legacy. A comparative analysis of these approaches identifies the one that most fully corresponds to the Russian philosopher’s original intent and makes it possible to integrate his philosophical work into a unified conceptual framework. The scientific novelty of the study lies in proposing the ontological status of the free creative person as a concept that makes it possible to structure N. A. Berdyaev’s creative legacy most comprehensively. The study establishes that the concept of the free creative person, considered as a component of N. A. Berdyaev’s metaphysical constructions, contributes to structuring his philosophical legacy and integrating this concept into the system of all-unity, central to Russian religious metaphysics.

The Origins of P. M. Rabinovych’s Scientific Outlook in the Philosophical Notes of the 1950s

The article introduces into scholarly circulation for the first time in Ukraine the youthful notes and aphorisms of the well-known theorist and philosopher of law, Professor P. M. Rabinovych (1936–2023), which address worldview issues and problems of cognition. The purpose of the study is to facilitate the identification of the origins of the scientist’s worldview and the foundations of his scientific outlook as interconnected components of his life and scholarly activity. The main methods employed are textual analysis, hermeneutic reconstruction, and synthesis. The thematic grouping of diary entries allows for the reconstruction of logical and semantic connections between them, some of which are not immediately apparent. In this way, the philosophical depth of the young researcher’s understanding of worldview issues and problems of scientific cognition, as well as the sharpness of his thinking and his practical wisdom, are demonstrated. It is shown that the methodological approaches formed during the lawyer’s school and student years include, above all, materialist dialectics. In addition, even at this early stage, the young scholar was characterized by a heightened interest in epistemological issues and, in particular, in the ways and conditions for achieving truth; the dialectics of the relationship between consciousness and being, the ideal and the material, the subjective and the objective. P. M. Rabinovych was interested in the interrelations between reason and emotions, intellectual and sensory modes of perceiving the world, cognition and discursive thinking, as well as the culture of proof and argumentation in scientific discussions. The presented material is intended to stimulate interest in further research into the scholar’s work and personality and to serve as a resource for future generations of researchers who will develop the ideas of Pyotr Moiseyovych and engage in scholarly debate with them.

L. WITTGENSTEIN’S IDEAS AND SOME PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECTS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

This article examines Ludwig Wittgenstein’s ideas in terms of their influence on developments in artificial intelligence. It demonstrates that the shift from the ontology of things to the logical ontology of facts, along with logicism and its attempts to approach language as a picture of the world and formalize thought through logical operations and propositions, laid the foundations for the creation of artificial intelligence. Wittgenstein’s reconsideration of his earlier position is explored, along with the development of a new approach that has influenced the transition to flexible models in AI that work with fuzzy contextual data. Using Wittgenstein’s ideas, it is possible to strive to create artificial intelligence capable of collaborating with humans in a more meaningful way. This problem has not yet received adequate attention in the scientific literature.

THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE HUMANITIES: A PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM OF SEMANTIC DISTORTION

The article examines the application of artificial intelligence technologies in the humanities through the lens of a philosophical analysis of the problem of semantic distortion. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of machine learning algorithms when processing humanities data, where understanding, context, and interpretation play a pivotal role. It is demonstrated that the use of AI in analyzing texts, as well as cultural and historical sources, carries the risk of semantic reduction and the loss of conceptual depth. The theoretical framework of the study is grounded in Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic approach, which posits that understanding is dialogical in nature and always rooted in the historically determined horizon of the interpreter. Additionally, the analysis draws on Martin Heidegger’s philosophy of technology, where modern technology is understood as a mode of revealing Being that tends to transform meaning into a mere resource. The paper concludes that without accounting for human presence and conceptual depth, AI technology becomes a tool for technical manipulation, substituting understanding with efficient calculation.
