PUBLISHING MEDIEVAL TEXTUAL HERITAGE AND HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF THE BULGARIAN LANGUAGE (OCS ADJECTIVE ОПЛОСМЪ)

Abstract

The paper restores and includes into Bulgarian historical dictionary an unknown adjective that prior to the edition of Stanislav’s Menologion (2018) remained unrecognized. The etymological excurse shows the connections between OCS оплосмъ ‘everyone/all; whole, general’ and плоскъ ‘wide, broad’ and being a synonym of the general pronoun вьсь, вьсѣкъ the lexeme has later disappeared from the Bulgarian dictionary. The conducted analysis proves once again the importance of publishing Medieval textual heritage in order to bridge the gaps in Bulgarian historical dictionary.
