Summary/Abstract: It is usually considered that the archaic type of Old Church Slavonic remained in the Ohrid school in the West Bulgarian dialectal environment, whereas its new Preslav type developed in the Preslav school in the North East Bulgarian dialectal environment. However Old Church Slavonic and in particular its lexical inventory evolved both in the Ohrid and in the Preslav schools, demonstrating as similar phenomena as well as differences in their evolution. It is known that all works of Clement have reached us in the relatively recent copies – as well as the majority of works of Preslav bookmen. In spite of this fact, the part of the lexical inventory of Old Church Slavonic indicating the trends of the evolution quite reliably can be established by means of comparative analysis of language of the copies. Personal word creation of bookmen, followed the basic settings of Sts. Cyril and Methodius, shows a lot of similarities: in the ways of word-formation and derivational patterns, in derivational morphemes, in the principles of calques creation etc., although there are some differences that could be explained by the priorities of choice.
