Dictionnaire De La Sociolinguistique. Dirigé Par J. Boutet & J. Costa. Langage Et Société, № 1 Hors-Série 2021, 348 P.

Until recently, the history of the Francophone sociolinguistics has known two dictionaries of sociolinguistic terms. The article provides the context of the development of a new dictionary of sociolinguistics edited by J. Boutet and J. Costa, published in Paris in 2021, the main purpose of which, according to the authors, is to reflect the current state of sociolinguistics. The brief description of the structure, as well as of the word-list of the dictionary, the analysis of the composition of the dictionary entry and specific examples of definitions allow us to draw conclusions about the peculiarities of the reviewed issue. In addition, this collective publication seems to be essential not only as a new tool for further research, but also as the confirmation of the active development of sociolinguistics as the independent branch of the science of language.
