The Ideas of the Hesychasm Reflected in The Works of Patriarch Evtimii

Идеите на исихазма, отразени в творчеството на Патриарх Евтимий

Author(s): Antoaneta Buyuklieva / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Old Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: spiritual perfection; hesychastdoctrine; moral corruptoon; unity of the church; artistic and aesthetic criteria

This article examines the works of Patriarch Evtimii, founder of the Tarnovo Literari School and an undoubted authority in the spiritual and cultural life of medieval Bulgaria, in connection with the ideas of the most powerful ideological movement – the Hesychasm. The ideas of hesyhast doktrine are indirectly reflected in the life and encomium of the writer through the image of the characters who have the features of the perfect Hesychast. Evtimii’s answers in his messages directly reflect the ideas of hesychasm of unity of the church and dominion over secular authority and fight against the moral corruption. The analysis of Patriarch Evtimii proves that his entire literary work is subject to the strict moral norms that impose the hesychasm as a spiritual trend, as well as to the high artistic and aesthetic criteria he forms in the literature – true and artistic translations, richly decorated style, exquisite phrase.

The Means of Expression of Hesychastic Apophaticism as a Reflection of Ancient Mental Models

Изразните средства на исихастката апофатичност като отражение на древни мисловни модели

Author(s): Ivan G. Iliev / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Old Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: hesychasm; apophaticism; means of expression

The article treats the means of expression of hesychastic apophaticism, used by Old Bulgarian writers of the 14th – 15th centuries, and the author tries to show that these means are very old, and were characteristic even for the mind of primitive people. He pays attention to the synonymy of ‘aphophatic’ negative pronouns and ‘cataphatic’ summative pronouns; to the pleonastic use of the negative particle не; to the syntactic but- constructions; and to necessative constructions.

Parallels in The Lexical Renewal of the New Greek and Bulgarian Languages through Loanwords

Паралели в лексикалното обновяване на новогръцкия и българския език чрез заемки

Author(s): Rumen Rikevski / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Greek, Modern (1453-) / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: loanword; internationalism; non-equivalent vocabulary; equivalent vocabulary

In both modern Greek and Bulgarian, borrowing foreign words is a major way to enrich vocabulary at the beginning of the 21st century. It is characteristic of both languages that often at the beginning of the acquisition of a loan word it can function both in an adapted and non-adapted form, and sometimes remains in the home language with zero degree of adaptation. The process of borrowing foreign words is effective and useful when it is communicatively and functionally justified, ie. non-equivalent vocabulary enters the language. In both Balkan countries, the equivalent fashion vocabulary, mostly of English origin, arouses the attention and concern of the public in order to limit its invasion and to preserve as much as possible the national-specific character of the native language.

Greek Traces in Bulgarian Proper Names and Their Meaning

Гръцки следи в българските собствени имена и тяхното значение

Author(s): Emilia Avginova-Nikolova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Greek, Modern (1453-) / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: anthroponymy; Bulgarian personal names; names of Greek origin

The anthroponymy deals with the existing or already obsolete proper names of people, as well as with their geographical distribution in a given country or region. Anthroponymy studies anthroponyms, which include personal, patronymic, surnames, as well as generic names and nicknames. The anthroponymic system of any language is constantly changing, just as the language itself is constantly evolving. Although there are not a few purely Bulgarian personal names that managed to be preserved through Christianity and its rituals, many personal names of Greek origin entered the Bulgarian anthroponymic system, which began to replace the old pagan names

The Rallis Poetry Competition and Grigor Parlichev

Поетическият конкурс „Ралис“ и Григор Пърличев

Author(s): Vladimir Vladov / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Greek, Modern (1453-) / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: poetry; poetry competition; Rallis; Grigor Parlichev; Bulgarian National Revival

In 2020, 160 years have passed since the day Grigor Stavrev Parlichev (18 January 1830 – 25 January 1893) won the laurel wreath at the Rallis poetry competition, organized by the University of Athens in the mid-19th century. The focus of this article is not so much on the life and work of the outstanding Bulgarian National Revival leader, writer, poet, translator, teacher and public figure, about whom a lot has been written over the years, but on the literary life in Greece at that time, as well as on the poetry contest itself and its patron and sponsor Ambrosios Rallis.

Balkan vs Romance in the linguistic atlas of the Romanian dialects to the north and the south of the Danube

Balkan vs Romance in the linguistic atlas of the Romanian dialects to the north and the south of the Danube

Author(s): Manuela Nevaci,Irina Floarea / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Romanian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: RoDial ALDRO project; dialectology; linguistic geography; Balkan languages; Romanian language; Slavic languages

Our paper aims to emphasise the dialectal similarities of North- and South-Danubian Romanian dialects (Daco-Romanian, Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian, Istro-Romanian) spoken in Romania, the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine, Serbia, Hungary, Albania, Bulgaria, the Republic of North Macedonia, Greece, Croatia. Our research is based on the questionnaire of Atlas Linguarum Europae (ALE), the ALE dialectal archive of the Iorgu Iordan – Al. Rosetti Institute of Linguistics at the Romanian Academy, in order to have a comparison with European dialects. In this way, the concordances with the Romance languages related to the languages of the Balkan Sprachbund and with other European languages are highlighted. The aim is to emphasise the Romance nature and the unity of the Romanian language in the European context.

The vocative and case. Observations on languages with a neutral alignment of case marking of NPs

The vocative and case. Observations on languages with a neutral alignment of case marking of NPs

Author(s): Georgi Georgiev / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Estonian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: vocative; cases; neutral alignment of case marking; typology; typological generalisation; morphosyntax

The vocative is a largely understudied linguistic phenomenon. This text examines the implications of treating the vocative as a case value and of not treating it as such in languages with a neutral alignment of case marking of full noun phrases. Special attention is given to such languages lacking (overt) case (marking), barring, supposedly, (marking for) the vocative. The text argues in favour of employing a principled treatment of the vocative that affords sufficient room for typological generalisation while remaining faithful to language data.

The genre model of the conclusions of a judicial expert (on material from English, Bulgarian, Polish and Russian)

Жанровая модель заключения судебного эксперта (на материале английского, болгарского, польского и русского языков)

Author(s): Stanisław Goźdź-Roszkowski,Julia Mazurkiewicz-Sułkowska / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Russian,Polish / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: adversarial system; expert opinion; generic structure; Bulgarian legal system; Russian legal system; Polish legal system; US common law

The literature devoted to legal linguistics often ignores documents encountered in court discourse which contain expert conclusions (forensic investigation). This article attempts to determine the genre model of expert opinions. As part of it, there is also a brief explanation of the legal and cultural context of how judicial expertise works, since it directly affects the structure of the documents we are interested in. The authors compare the conclusions of forensic experts using documents taken from the Anglo-Saxon legal system (common law) and from the civil law system (Polish, Russian, and Bulgarian).
