The translation of fictional literature from French into Russian is often a very complicated process, due to a poor knowledge of the vocabulary used in conversational speech. More precisely, these difficulties are caused by the lack of knowledge of the reduced register vocabulary. Our work is focused on the most stylistically-colored lexicon of the contemporary French language, used both in oral speech and in the works of French writers that, in our view, will help to expand the functional and stylistic boundaries of French language learners. The relevance of this study is determined by a great necessity to master intercultural communication skills and abilities to comprehend the spoken foreign language. The purpose of the research is to identify the argotic vocabulary and vernacular in the fictional works of French authors of the 20th century, as well as in the press. The theoretical and practical significance of the work can be defined as the need for a broader and more diverse study of the French language. It is necessary to comprehensively describe the cultural, social and territorial aspects of the spoken language. The role of youth word-creation should also be noted.
