Концептът „село“ в българското, турското и френското езиково пространство
The concept of “village” in Bulgarian, Turkish and French Linguistic Areas

Summary/Abstract: The study is part of the comparative ethno-labeled linguoconceptology and aims to analyze the linguistic means of expressing the concept of “village” in Bulgarian, Turkish and French languages as representatives of the Slavic language family, the Turkic-Altaic language family and the Romance language family. The method of research is the linguocultural comparative analysis, which combines the achievements of modern linguocultural conceptology and contrastive ethno-linguistics. The object of research is the concept of “village” in the linguistic conceptual spheres of Bulgarians, French and Turks. The subject of research is the means of expressing this concept in a comparative way. The study features an innovative interpretation of lexicographic strategies for defining the concept of “village” (in Bulgarian село, in Turkish köy, in French village). An important aspect is the research of the role which the French and Turkish linguistic influences have on the lexical system of Bulgarian language and on the cultural life in Bulgarian society over the last two centuries. The results obtained are based on the reconstructed lexico-semantic relations building the linguistic vision for the concept of village as topos (τόπος) and anthropos (άνθρωπος) with the corresponding secondary nominations in different languages. The similarities and differences in the linguocultural conception of the village concept in the three studied linguistic areas are identified.
