Šolski slovar slovenskega jezika 2022

Šolski slovar slovenskega jezika 2022 ('School Dictionary of the Slovenian Language 2022') with a concept based on established lexicographical principles contains a linguistic description of the lexical units of the Slovenian standard language, intended for pupils aged 6 to 10 years. It includes 502 dictionary entries and provides a lexicographically based display of information adapted to the abilities and knowledge of the youngest users. Only lexical units of the standard language are examined, and the dictionary also includes multi-word lexemes, both non-phraseological and phraseological. The main source of material is the Korpus šolskih besedil slovenskega jezika (Corpus of School Texts of the Slovene Language), which encompasses texts from textbooks, children’s literature by select authors and school essay materials. The lexis examined in the dictionary is thus taken from texts that are the main source of new standard vocabulary for children at this age; in particular, it covers the standard language of literature and the basic terminology of the scientific fields and disciplines discussed in class, which are represented as equally as possible. As the dictionary also serves as a teaching accessory, basic lexis has been included using criteria of problem selection as well (based on issues pupils might have relating to orthography, pronunciation, inflectional patterns).
