• Resumen

  • The Universal Dictionary is a combination of an Encyclopedic and a Linguistic Dictionary intended to meet the demand for a simultaneous and adequate representation of both the objective-scientific and the linguistic "picture of the world".

    In the field of lexicography we can prove the adequacy of the theory by creating a particular model to serve as a link between the ideal theory and the real object, natural language.

    In this paper the methodology of acquiring and analyzing a linguistic corpus with reference to the Bulgarian language is presented. The analysis of the linguistic material demonstrates that the Universal Dictionary is representative of the cultural-historical and cultural-linguistic base of natural language.
