THE APPEARANCE OF THE MACEDONIAN PROTONATIONALISM: THE USE OF TERM OF THE MACEDONIAN LANGUAGE IN THE GREEK SOURCES OF THE BEGINING OF XX-th CENTRY

Summary/Abstract: Linguistics is basic characteristic of the ethnic groups. In the system of building identity, except self-identification, important role has and social categorization, i.e. recognition from other groups of outsiders.
