COMPARATIVE COMPATIBILITY

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the problem of comparative compatibility in Bulgarian, French and Turkish languages. The first two languages are Indo-European but from different groups (the Slavic and the Romance groups respectively), and the third is a non-Indo-European, representative of the Turkic language family. The objective of this study are the cognitive and pragmatic chains for expressing the impossibility of boarding a certain vehicle due to its delayed arrival at the place of departure, which are characteristic of the linguistic pictures of the three languages in question. The purpose of the study is to identify the elements used for building these cognitive and pragmatic chains in Bulgarian, French and Turkish languages by comparing them and exploring their potential for combinations in the languages mentioned. Samples of everyday speech acts from the three languages have been presented, described, juxtaposed, compared and analyzed from a morphosyntactic, lexical and pragmatic perspective. A combination of the comparative method and matrix modelling is used for processing the linguistic material and the results are presented in a tabular form. The conclusion not only reveals some linguistic differences, but suggests that they are due to the cultures of the three countries and their transport systems. A suggestion for further implementation of the results of the study is made, namely, elaborating bilingual and/or multilingual dictionaries.
