The present paper explores the contrastive sociolexicographic analysis of non-standard vocabulary dictionaries in differently structured languages, with a primary focus on English and Russian. The study addresses the significance of documenting substandard vocabulary in lexicographic editions, emphasizing its relevance in both theoretical and applied linguistics. The authors assert that the development of modern non-standard vocabulary dictionaries will enhance the empirical foundation for linguistic hypotheses based on live speech data. The paper presents a detailed framework for comparing non-standard dictionaries, using parameters such as the microstructural organisation of dictionary entries. Citing the work of G.V. Ryabichkina, the paper identifies key elements that should be included in dictionary entries. They contain vocabulary representation, orthographic and orthoepic features, grammatical characteristics, and stylistic features. The study emphasises the need for comprehensive linguistic descriptions, including functional, social and ethical stylistic marks, as well as varied definitional approaches such as literary synonyms commonplace synonyms, and extended linguistic interpretations. This paper contributes to the broader understanding of how non-standard vocabulary is represented in dictionaries of English and Russian, providing insights into the nuances of language variation and lexicographic practice.
