Abstract
Interest in the quantitative paradigm in linguistics has been going on for more than one century. In the early XX century attempts were made to statistically process the text aimed at establishing authorship or plagiarism (A. Markov, M. Morozov). Activation of domestic and foreign linguistic statistics takes place in the second half of the XX century with the appearance of a number of fundamental works that led to the beginning of new directions in linguistics, for example: glottochronology (M. Swodesh), linguistic typology (J. Greenberg), structural-mathematical and applied linguistics (V. Perebyjnis), etc. At the end of the XX century – the beginning of the XXI century there are attempts to describe the constitutive principles of quantitative linguistics (M. Arapov, S. Buck, N. Darchuk, P. Fletcher, A. Hughes, V. Levitsky, Yu. Tuldava, A. Woods etc.). The relevance of the article is conditioned by the need to characterize the specifics of quantitative methods in the linguistic works of recent years. The purpose is to determine the latest trends in the application of quantitative methods in modern linguistic paradigm with designing for the higher school educational process. Linguistic works of recent years have intensified the active use of quantitative methods in various linguistic studies on language personality (I. Danyliuk), the lexico-semantic macro-typology of languages (A. Kretov, A. Voevudsky, I. Merkulova, V. Titov), the principle of iconicity in the language (T. Kozlova), constructive grammar (H. Sytar), stylometry with elements of psycholinguistics (O. Pavlyshenko). The active use of quantitative methods in linguistics makes it possible to develop the university course «Quantitative linguistics» (field of knowledge 03 «Humanities», specialty 035 «Philology») which consists of two content modules «Quantitative linguistics: qualification bases» and «Experience in applying quantitative methods in linguistics». Thus, the use of quantitative methods in domestic and foreign linguistics has its own traditions and modern development within the framework of language personality, the lexico-semantic macro-typology of languages, the principle of iconicity in the language, constructive grammar, stylometry with elements of psycholinguistics that can be effectively applied in the educational process of higher education, in scientific topics and projects. We see the perspective in determining the features of modern systemic quantification of phonetics and phonology, vocabulary and phraseology, grammar, etc
