Abstract
The article considers authors' prefaces in linguistic popular science texts. Authors of popular science texts about the language may have different professional status in relation to the subject of speech (linguistics). Based on this criterion, three types of linguistic popular science texts authors have been identified: 1) linguists who are active in scientific work; 2) linguists-popularizers; 3) authors whose professional activities are related to language practice (translators, editors, writers, etc.). It has been established that the factor of the addresser (professional status of the author) largely determines the stylistic and communicative-pragmatic specificity of the authors’ prefaces.
