The explanatory historical Dictionary of the 16th-Century Slovenian Literary Language 2023 consists of 565 entries. Almost half of them are in the letter G and about 40% in the letter F (a large proportion of them are borrowed words, especially from German), while there are also some new entries in some other letters. A few larger word families are covered, including evangelij ‘gospel’, farizej ‘pharisee’, flis ‘diligende’, ferdamati 'to condemn’, globok ‘deep’, and gnil ‘rotten’. The dictionary entries include Slovenian material from all printed works of Protestant writers from 1550 to 1603, but not from contemporary manuscripts by other authors. The entries were partly selected in alphabetical order, as semantically or formally related headwords were given priority. The comprehensive dictionary presentation of words at various levels includes information on parts of speech, frequency, inflection and accent reconstruction etc., as well as hierarchically structured semantic descriptions supplemented by modern equivalents (intralingual translation); phrases and multi-word terms are highlighted. The dictionary data are illustrated with examples from original texts.
