The article analyzes social and philosophical potential of linguistic turn that took place in the 20th century and is one of authoritative foundations for multitude of philosophical foundations of the present forming non-classical rationality. To avoid possible difficulties, the author draws a boundary between the subject areas of linguistics and linguistic philosophy (philosophy of language). Two stages of linguistic turn are considered. It`s determined that the «first meaning» of this phenomenon finds its development in various philosophical concepts. Social and philosophical potential of the linguistic turn is considered mainly through the Wittgenstein language games. Catching the modern trend of addressing the applied meaning of scientific research, the author determines the overall potential of the linguistic turn, related to the possibilities of addressing real life practices and interaction between a multitude of actors in society. In addition to general potential there is also a special one which is associated with political and legal spheres of public life research. 

Keywords: linguistic turn, language, language games, linguistics, society, law, politics, power, social environment.
