It introduces the specialized lexicographic electronic corpus, used as an empirical basis for the compilation of the latest academic Bulgarian dictionary of new words. The procedure for semi-automatic extraction of neologisms from an electronic corpus applied in compiling the lexical frame of this dictionary is described in the article.
