   The present article describes the specifics, principles and methods of synergetics as a promising area of modern research. Synergetics is presented by the author as a holistic integral paradigm used in many sciences, which confirms its interdisciplinary and even universal nature. The object of this paradigm is the interaction of complex systems, and since the mere concept of “system” is widely used in many scientific fields, the relevance of synergetics is beyond doubt. The author describes the main characteristics of the structure and functioning of a system. The key concepts of synergetics and their explanation are also given. Further, the article discusses the branches of linguistics that are based on the principles of synergetics – linguosynergetics and functional linguosynergetics as a variety of it. Since the study of text and discourse and their parameters as complex systems is of particular interest to many linguists, linguosynergetics has become one of the most indemand scientific paradigms in this area of research. The author points out the objectives and tasks of linguistic synergetics, and functional linguosynergetics in particular, as well as their basic concepts, principles and methods. Attention is also paid to the functioning of linguistic means and the formation and interpretation of meaning depending on certain discursive space. The author comes to the conclusion that, thanks to synergetics, language can be studied from specific angles, and the application of its principles greatly contributes to the theory of the evolution of language. Linguosynergetics provides ample opportunities for describing language/text/discourse as a complex, dynamic, open system, and functional linguosynergetics, in turn, helps describe the features of its functioning and evolution.
