Summary/Abstract: In the article the wide definition of the notion “Applied Linguistics” is given. Applied linguistics is concerned with those spheres of the human activity, where the linguistic data and knowledge are used (or are “applied”) naming politics and sociology, psychology, communication, cultural science, manufacturing, technology, informatics, mathematics, language teaching, translation etc. One of the important directions of applied linguistics is lexicography (dictionary science), which includes and systematizes the whole human knowledge.
