BlBLIA FOLKLORICA (The Folkloric Confessional Convention of the Bulgarians in Bessarabia and Tauria)

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt at analyzing the problem of the Bulgarian diaspora in the ethno-confessional context of SLAVIA ORTHODOXA, SLAVIA CATHOLICA, SLAVIA PROTESTANTICA, SLAVIA ISLAMICA. One of the inherent features of this context is the functioning of the linguistic and ethnic stereotypes of behaviour under the conditions of diglossy in a broader semiotic aspect. The Bulgarian traditional cultural context reflects the co-existence of two types of canons – the folkloric and the religious (Christian and Islamic) ones. The author characterizes the folklore parameters of the confessional convention of the Bulgarians living in Bessarabia and Tauria (former provinces in the Russian Empire, now administratively divided between Moldova and the Ukraine). Folklore material, recorded by the author, is published, referred to as the Bulgarian folklore version of the “Great Code” – the Bible.
