Summary/Abstract: This article considers the terminological dictionary review as an integral genre that combines the features of scientific communication, language criti­cism, source studies, literary studies and publicism. As stressed, critical sub-discourse is a component of evaluative discourse, and reviews of scientific works are a typical manifestation of evaluative dis­course and critical sub-discourse. A multidimensional genre typology of post-publication reviews of termi­nological dictionaries is developed on the basis of such features as: the number of authors; the specialities of reviewers; the type of a journal where the review is published; the scope of information in the review; the number of diction­aries under consideration; the type of specialist dictionaries under review; presence/absence of scientific discussion, i.e. presence/absence of a response to the review; the style of the text of the review; the time between the release of the dictionary and the publication of the review.
