The Word-Formation Dictionary of the Bulgarian Literary Language is the first dictionary in Bulgaria to bring together in a single "entry" both a series of words derived sequentially from one another and a series of independent words derived from the same root. In such a dictionary, the word-formation methods and means described in grammars are not specified. However, the dictionary’s ability to illustrate the relationship of direct derivation makes the manner of formation sufficiently clear (e.g., whether a morpheme has been added or removed, etc.).
