Renarativul – o particularitate a limbii bulgare contemporane
The Renarrative - a special feature of the Bulgarian Contemporary Language

Summary/Abstract: The renarrative represents a special feature of the Bulgarian verb, which is not present in the other Slavic languages. Part of the evidentiality system it is used to report a nonwitnessed event without confirming it (sometimes expressing doubt as to whether the event actually happened/will happen) or to indicate that the information was reported to the speaker by someone else. After a short presentation of the various concepts on the matter (viewed in different ways as a mood, a submood or even as a semantic not a morphological category), we discuss the formal and functional aspects of the renarrative, as well as its meanings. We point out Romanian equivalents to the Bulgarian renarrative.
