Abstract
The article explores the contribution of K. Kerner (1939-2022) to the development of linguistic historiography, in particular the establishment of a specialized scientific journal, the substantiation of the principles of a positivist approach to the history of linguistics, and the emphasis on the importance of improving the methodology of this area. The paper examines the key tenets of K. Koerner’s historiographical concept and based on their comparison with his practical historiographical research concludes that K. Koerner was not always consistent in following his own methodological imperatives.
