Since 1996, under the direction of the Blissymbolics Development Secretariat in Sweden - Margareta Jennische, Britt Amberntson, Kerstin Lorstrom – BCI International Panel Members have worked non-stop to increase the BCI Authorized Vocabulary, building on the 25 years of work in Toronto. Here is how the published vocabulary has grown since BCI’s first published dictionary in 1982:

Year___	# Bliss-words___	Publication
1982	1400	Blissymbols for Use
1991	2300	Blissymbol Reference Guide (BRG)
2004	3000	Supplement to BRG (700 new Bliss-words)
2006	3588	2006 Supplement to BRG (1288 Bliss-words)
2014	5588	incremental additions by the international Panel Meetings (2000 Bliss-words)

Thanks to the work of Peter Lindsay and Paul Marshall, the 2006 Supplement to Blissymbol Reference Guide is available electronically as well as in hard copy. It contains all the Bliss-words from the 2004 Supplement as well as those added since the first Supplement’s publication (for a total of 1288 Bliss-words). To order, write: bci@blissymbolics.org
