Abstract. The research aims to identify the sociolinguistic properties of lexical naming in New Zealand prison argot, namely mobility and variability of its elements in the areal, local-territorial, professional-corporate and gender aspects. The work is novel in that it is the first to analyse the noted sociolinguistic features of lexemes of this speech microsystem, which has been little studied in Russian Anglistics, in the context of substandard lexicography. The results obtained during the sociolexicographic description showed that sociolinguistic mobility peculiar to the elements of New Zealand penitentiary sociolect is manifested in their movement within cultural and linguistic areas, New Zealand correctional institutions, corporate and professional groups of the macrosystem of the multinational English language as a whole; sociolinguistic differentiation is accounted for by localisation in the use of units, communicants’ gender identity and their role function in the inmate community. The paper clarifies the basic concepts related to the research topic.
