The Bulgarian Explanatory dictionary (BED) was compiled by seven
Bulgarian linguists and lexicographers: L. Andreychin, L.
Georgiev, St. Ilchev, N. Kostov, Iv. Lekov, St. Stoykov, Tsv.
Todorov. Their work became widely popular and won them the jokular
but respectful name "Svety Sedmochislenitsy". The BED, which was
intended to be an easily accessible reference book about the meaning
and the usage of Bulgarian words, is characterised by a simplified
structure of the lexical entries, where the major and most important
word meanings are given clear and precise definitions. Also included
are the most typical and often used idiomatic and phraseological
expressions. The illustrative material comprises short representative
expressions construed by the authors or quoted from classic works of
fiction. When deemed necessary, words are accompanied by register and
origin information.
The new edition of the Bulgarian Explanatory
Dictionary (1994, revised and updated by Dimitar Popov) has a
considerably enriched lexicon - inluded in it are about 10 000 new
words, which have entered the language during the last few years;
some rare, obsolete or regional words which are no longer present in
the speech of the Bulgarian public have been taken out, some of the
explanations have been updated, the illustrative material has been
enriched with new expressions and collocations, at the same time
trying to avoid too lengthy old examples. Thus edited - revised and
updated -the Bulgarian Explanatory Dictionary, similar to previous
editions, is one of the major reference books on the meaning and
usage of Bulgarian words.
