Abstract: The article is devoted to such a research area as the economics of language. The economics of language is a relatively young science. It is located at the intersection of sociolinguistics and economics. The economics of language has been developing since the 1960s, and it still remains insufficiently studied and underestimated by both sociolinguists and economists. Unfortunately, there are very few scientific studies in this area so far and they are conducted mainly by foreign authors. In addition, as many researchers note, sociolinguistics and economics develop individually, although many aspects of sociolinguistics have clear economic dimensions. The article discusses the concept of the economics of language, gives a detailed description of the history of the formation of this scientific direction, provides an analysis of the works of foreign and Russian scientists, and describes the main areas of research.
