За две дискусионни понятия в съвременната българска лингвистика: модални думи и модификатори
On Two Controversial Concepts in Contemporary Bulgarian Linguistics: Modal Words and Modifiers

Summary/Abstract: The object of study are the terms modal words and modifiers, whose status is not unambiguously recognised in contemporary Bulgarian linguistics. I present an analytical overview of the main views on the semantic content and the degree of autonomy of these concepts. I then go on to look for an answer to the question whether there are sufficient grounds for using these terms to name independent classes of words (parts of speech), an idea shared by some authors. I put a special emphasis on the use of the term modifiers in functional-semantic grammar.
