Summary/Abstract: Old Bulgarian Church Singing Vs. Eastern Church Singing. Semantic Differences in the Usage of Concepts During the Discussion from the Late 19th and Early 20th century The question of “what is the true Bulgarian church singing?” was widely debated in Bulgaria after the national liberation in 1878. It became the subject of a decade-long discussion (from the late 19th century to the 1940s), carried out mainly on the pages of numerous periodicals. Pointing to topical at that time issues of constructing and maintaining national identity in relation to the struggle for autonomous church, this article analyses semantic differences in the usage of basic concepts considered in the discussion. It is argued that differences concerning notions of Old Bulgarian church singing and Eastern church singing reflect the evolution of the discussion itself and the controversy and change in various individual positions.
