Kontrastive Überlegungen zu einigen Aspekten der Zeit: zeit-dauer am beispiel der kognitiven verben im deutschen und im bulgarischen
Contrastive Aspects of Time: Time and Duration on Cognitive Verbs in German and Bulgarian

Summary/Abstract: In the present paper, synonymous relations are analyzed in contrastive terms, and two oppositional characteristics are accepted as a basis for comparison, the so-called tertium comparison: long-term-short-term and repeatability-one-time. With the help of integral semantic features, lexical fields of basic similarity are distinguished, but, at the level of semantics, specific interlingual differences stand out. The semantic function of the prefixes in the composition of the prefixed verbs for cognitive actions is the structuring feature, through which the new semantic quality of the derived verbs is formed.
