Modern linguistics is the result of the ongoing processes of the subject and linguistic research methodology expansion, growing interrelations with rapidly developing cognitive and computer sciences. These processes inevitably affect terminology, increasing the total number of terms used in linguistics, raising instability and semantic variability of many of them. In such circumstances, the task of putting together and systematizing the terminology of the science of language becomes extremely urgent. The substantial work by S. V. Lesnikov ‘The Metalanguage of Linguistics’, discussed in the paper, is an important milestone on this path. The work is based on the material that include linguistic sources from 1755 to 2021 (vocabularies, manuals, encyclopedias, glossaries, etc.), as well as publications in one of the main Russian linguistic journals “Voprosy Jazykoznanija” for 1952–2021. The proposed review article analyzes the structure, principles of organization, functionality, and some prospects for the development and use of the created metalinguistic terminological base.
