The article traces the codification of punctuation rules in spelling dictionaries and spelling guides from the beginning of the 20th century in a changed language situation where Standard Bulgarian already functioned as an official state language. The new situation necessitated the establishment of uniform orthography by codifying the spelling and punctuation norms based on the literary practice. The author studies the rules for the use of punctuation marks and analyzes the state of the codification at the beginning of the 20th century as compared with contemporary codification. The paper confirms the hypothesis about the continuity in the codification of the Standard Bulgarian language in a historical perspective.Keywords: punctuation marks; punctuation norms; codification; spelling dictionaries; spelling guides
