- Abstract
The article represents reflecting social reality based on sociolinguistic factors that have lexicographical fixations. At present, the methodological base of sociolectology already formed is being enriched, the research methods are described and tested, some reviews of the actual situation in sociolectic lexicography is carried out. We have considered the interactive processes of the Latin American Spanish embedded in the vocabulary of different sociolects. In this paper some specific examples include the thematic lexicon of the Argentine lunfardo, the Colombian parlache and the Costa Rican pachuco-malespin. We traced the patterns of origin, evolution, and spreading these sociolects out, which have acquired certain social traits: from cultural universals to serving various spheres of human activity. We underline that sociolect’s functionality provokes creating and updating the specific dictionaries; most of them are available in electronic versions. The analyzed material is a set or combination of a multifaceted palette for further interdisciplinary research with different approaches, the relevance of which is beyond any doubts especially in modern tendencies in the development of international relations, affairs, negotiations, policies.
