Abstract
The article analyzes the purist movements of the XVII–XX centuries in Europe. The relevance of
the study is connected with the constant interest of any society to the language of its country, to its defense against alien elements. The author makes an attempt to generalize the ideas of purism and their practical implementation as a set of discursive practices (as interpreted by M. Foucault), which allows us to consider purism as a linguistic phenomenon that has its own regularities of development and implementation. This generalization can initiate a fundamental study of purism as a multifaceted phenomenon, which can be based on the method of narrative lingvo-historiography.
