An anthropolinguistic approach to viewing indeterminacy is proposed, according to which indeterminacy is viewed as a category that changes from primordial vagueness of words at the early stage of evolution of human mentality to later ambiguity and concept fuzziness.

Keywords: anthropolinguistics approach, evolution of (human) mentality, indeterminacy, semantic syncretism
