linguistic turn
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: Popularized by Richard Rorty in The Linguistic Turn (1967).
Senses: examples: text: Philosophy during the first half of the century has taken the linguistic turn. Words are used either philosophically or commonsensically.

ref: 1961, Gustav Bergmann, “Physics and Ontology”, in Philosophy of Science, volume 28, number 1, page 2:
text: The so-called linguistic turn. . . involved moving away from foundationalist assumptions of the primacy of logic and towards a more subtle recognition of the varied nature of language and of its deep influence, its pervasive implications across the range of human practices.
ref: 2004, Paul Standish, “Europe, Continental Philosophy and the Philosophy of Education”, in Comparative Education, volume 40, number 4, page 490:
