The paper considers the following issues: the nature of language, problems of language as a living organism, belonging of linguistics to natural sciences, morphological types of languages, and the evolution of languages. The author reveals the similarities and differences of Benloew Louis’s, M. Muller’s, A. Hovelacque’s and W. D. Whitney’s views on the above mentioned problems.
