| Summary: | The Derivative Word in the Monolingual Dictionary.
The study focuses on some aspects of lexicographic description of derivative words (formed through derivation) in various monolingual dictionaries of the contemporary Bulgarian language. Attention is drawn to the place of derivatives in the structure of single- and multi-volume dictionaries, with emphasis on the types of explanatory definitions of the words of mutational, modificational and transpositional type. As a result of the analysis, the following recommendations for a future lexicographical description are made: introduction of uniform principles for presenting the different types of derivatives in monolingual dictionaries (regardless of their volume); using an appropriate explanatory definition of the lexical meaning; revealing the motivational relationships between the derivative word and its generative counterpart; avoiding the nesting approach.
