This investigation of Vanina Ivanova Sumrova is the first independent and complete study of a lexico-semantic group of neologisms in the Bulgarian language: the new terms denoting women that have appeared throughout the quarter century that has passed since 1989. The terms covered are more than 1.400; single-word terms as well as open or closed two-element compounds (of the type biznes sekretarka or bg mama), part of them until now unattested in studies or dictionaries. The terms are analysed from several points of view: morphology, semantics, stylistics, codification, sociolinguistics, social culturology, lexicography, and possibilities for future development; all contributing to the multifaceted character of the study.
