Abstract

In this article the author discusses Khlebnikov's philosophy of language on the basis of an analysis of his statements on the subject in his poetic works. Fundamental are his views on similarity and dissimilarity, in connection with his projected ideal Unified and Single Language, that would replace all existing languages. The author confronts these views with other all-encompassing systems, such as Hegel's, and also with Marr's and Stalin's ideas about language.
