  • Summary/Abstract:The paper presents the results of a new study on the syntactic structures of simple two-component sentences in the works of Yordan Yovkov, Emilian Stanev and Yordan Radichkov. Statistical prognostic methods support the syntactic analysis and enrich it with quantitative data on the makeup of the simple sentence. The observed quantitative characteristics are the scope and depth of the sentence structure, as well as the forms of connection – subordination or coordination. Statistical and syntactic inferences are made that support the study of authors’ individual grammar in an innovative way.

  • Summary/Abstract:In this text, the main object are the composita of the type koy shte da e in the contemporary Bulgarian language. Through specific examples, I establish the specificity of their semantics and their uses in the sentence. The adopted hypothesis is that they are used as indefinite pronouns, and that they share some of the semantic features of the indefinite pronouns of the types koy da e and koyto shte da e. I present the similarities and differences with other types of indefinite pronouns. Emphasis is placed on the paradigmatization of the composita of the koy shte da e type as indefinite pronouns. Some cases of ambiguity of the functions of this type of indefinite pronouns are considered.

The definition of such units is proposed, their scope is determined, criteria for their identification are derived. A framework for description of the grammatical properties of MWEs is presented that takes into consideration two distinct types of MWEs – syntactic phrasemes and phrasemes. Main normative problems related to the use of syntactic phrasemes are noted.

  • Keywords:Moldavian copies of the Pseudo-Zonaras Nomocanon; Middle Bulgarian literary legacy
  • Summary/Abstract:The article is dedicated to the practically unknown copy of the so-called Pseudo-Zonaras Nomocanon kept in the Library of the Saint Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church in Bucharest under signature BSS Ms.sl.II 267. The historical context of its emergence and the metadata of the manuscript are studied in comparison with the traditions of this nomocanon in Wallachia and Moldavia after the 14th century, when the Bulgarian translation appeared. Separate Greek words and lexical variations are commented on, such as факеол-венец-савон; посадница, палакида, кавка, накато, some of them with a status of occasional readings for this special Moldavian copy. The author highlights the role of the 16th century Moldavian literature for the preservation of the Middle Bulgarian written heritage.

(Observations on the language of the liturgical commentary in the contents of MSS RGADA 88 and BOGISHICH 52. The morphology of nominals)

  • Author(s):Tatyana Ilieva
  • Language:Bulgarian, Old Slavonic, Old Bulgarian
  • Subject(s):Language studies, Language and Literature Studies, Theoretical Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Theology and Religion, Morphology, Lexis, Semantics, Pragmatics, Historical Linguistics, South Slavic Languages, Philology, Translation Studies, History of Religion
  • Page Range:77-89
  • No. of Pages:13
  • Keywords:Southern Slavonic translations; 15th century; historical morphology; Bulgarian language
  • Summary/Abstract:The object of study in this article are the morphological peculiarities of the nominal system in the hitherto unattributed liturgical commentary of MSS RGADA 88 and Bogishich 52. On the basis of a thorough linguistic analysis linguistic data are gathered about the age in which the work appeared and the literary school to which its author belonged. This investigation shows that as regards its morphological characteristics, the commentary has the characteristic features of Southern Slavonic literature, which conform to the linguistic norms probably already established on Mt. Athos in the first decades of the 14th century and adopted by the Tarnovo men of letters as well, norms underlying the Resava orthography in Serbia later. Judging by the linguistic data examined, the commentary could have been written in the Western Bulgarian or the Eastern Serbian lands by an author who had a command of Old Bulgarian and observed its morphological and syntactic norms by using synthetic nominal forms at the time when the new analytical system had already established itself in the vernacular.

(The transformation of the parables’ key names in ideologemes and the perception of the allegories in the Old Bulgarian exegesis)

  • Author(s):Pirnika Penkova-Lyager
  • Language:Bulgarian, Old Slavonic, Old Bulgarian
  • Subject(s):Christian Theology and Religion, Language studies, Language and Literature Studies, Theology and Religion, Semantics, Pragmatics, Historical Linguistics, South Slavic Languages, Philology, Translation Studies
  • Page Range:90-101
  • No. of Pages:12
  • Keywords:Athanasius of Alexandria; Basil the Great; allegorical exegesis of the Gospel parables
  • Summary/Abstract:Drawing on the Old Bulgarian translations of Athanasius of Alexandria and Basil the Great, the author traces the use of allegorical theology in the 4th century and its reflection as Прїточное богословие during the 10th century. The linguistic comparison between the use of allegorical key-names by Athanasius of Alexandria and the process of conceptualization of ordinary names to divine predicates and theological terms by Basil the Great provides the necessary discourse for the observations on the language practice of the Preslav’s men of letters. When illustrating the process of deriving human knowledge from the literal to the figurative interpretation of a certain story from the Bible, John the Exarch and Constantine of Preslav relied on a common theological platform, also known from the original works of the two authors. The criteria for the correctness of the exegesis according to the two authors are specified.

  • Keywords:Revival; letter book; terminology
  • Summary/Abstract:The object of this paper is the study of a bilingual letter book with a view to the employed terminological means. They are presented in several thematic fields and interpreted in terms of their composition, semantics and etymology. Of particular interest is the terminological lexicon in letters of an administrative, legal and commercial nature, which belong to several areas: administrative units and institutions; legal and administrative terminology; documents, acts and other forms of public interaction; positions and posts; commercial and financial terminology. The terminological lexis is structured as small dictionaries, presenting the term words and phrases independently. The dictionaries explain the meaning of each term, accompanied by an etymological reference.

  • Page Range:112-119
  • No. of Pages:8
  • Keywords:medieval conceptual sphere; concepts; anthropology; attitudes of present-day Bulgarians
  • Summary/Abstract:This study presents the semantics and linguistic realizations of the concepts righteous people and sinners in different types of works from the 9th – 10th, 14th and 17th centuries. Repentance is analyzed as the basis of the Christian anthropological view in medieval Bulgarian literature. The modern processes of transformation of Christian values in the conditions of the pan-European cultural paradigm are studied by applying the survey research method. The most important conclusion from the three polls conducted with Bulgarians of different ages in 2022 is: sinners today are defined as people who commit crimes, they are most often called criminals and bad people, and they cannot atone for their guilt by repentance alone.

  • Keywords:Krastyo Peykich; Bulgarian Catholics; literature of the Bulgarian Catholics; Chiprovtsi; Banat
  • Summary/Abstract:The paper focuses on Krastyo Peykich’s book “A Mirror of Truth” published in 1716 in Venice, and on one of its Croatian copies kept in the National Library in Zagreb, namely R 4359 from 1724, the work of the Croatian writer Pavel Stoshich. On the first page, the Croatian writer notes that he is “flipping” Peykich’s book from Cyrillic to “our Croatian language”. Apparently, the Cyrillic script was taken as a sign of another language, and this is not accidental, since Cyrillic is the traditional script of Christian Orthodoxy. The purpose of the paper is to present a comparison between the two works in view of the concept of the so-called Illyrian language in the context of the South Slavic linguistic environment.

  • Keywords:Bulgarian etymology; dialect vocabulary; borrowings from Turkish
  • Summary/Abstract:The paper applies a systematic approach to the etymologization of Bulgarian dialect words of Turkish origin. The object of analysis are Turkish loanwords with initial a- from the Dictionary of an archaic Rhodope dialect – the dialect of Ropkata, published in 2022. Specific phonetic changes are described, whose regularity in the dialect helps to find other dialectal variants of the words under consideration and to identify the Turkish primary source. The analyzed words are not included in Volume I of the Bulgarian Etymological Dictionary, and the majority of them are not reflected in the corresponding entries of the Dictionary of Turkisms in Bulgarian, so they are related to the respective etymological word families for the first time. Clarifications, additions and corrections are made to some of the existing etymologies or a new etymological interpretation is proposed. Emphasis is placed on the variation of the borrowed dialect lexis, which is of great importance for discovering the foreign language etymon.

  • Keywords:value system; wealth; poverty; virtue; sin; sermon
  • Summary/Abstract:The Christian doctrine regulates human life, behavior, and relationships with relatives and strangers through the commandments. Breaking the commandments is considered a sin, and overcoming one’s own weakness leads to one’s betterment and one’s coming closer to God, which is ultimately the goal of every Christian’s life. The desire for wealth and well-being is characteristic of human nature, but the Bible says otherwise: “Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." (Luke 18, 25). This article examines the characteristics of the perception of wealth and work from the perspective of popular culture and religion.

  • Page Range:269-275
  • No. of Pages:7
  • Keywords:nominalization; complex words; prefixation; zero derivation; Russian language
  • Summary/Abstract:In this paper, I discuss Russian deverbal zero-derived nouns, both prefixed (vyezd ‘departure’) and compound (gvozdodёr ‘tool for pulling out nails’, snegopad ‘snowfall’). It turns out that prefixed nouns mainly denote a situation or its result, while compound nouns may either denote a situation (snegopad) or a participant (agent or a similar instrument-like participant like gvozdodёr). The interpretation depends on the transitivity of the base verb: if it is transitive, the participant interpretation is chosen (gvozdodёr, lesorub ‘lumberjack’, lit. ‘wood-cut’), while with intransitive verbs, the default interpretation is situational (snegopad, ledoxod ‘ice drift’). I explain this possibility by the fact that in complex words, the zero suffix is attached simultaneously with root compounding, and the second root (e.g., -dёr-, -rub-) is not usually a word and does not have a fixed interpretation. By contrast, in words like vyezd the zero suffix is attached to the existent prefixed verb vyexat’ / vyezžat’ ‘drive out’. The properties of the verb are retained under nominalization, including the situational interpretation.

  • Page Range:276-284
  • No. of Pages:9
  • Keywords:discourse markers; etymology of discourse markers; usage of discourse markers; Balkan Sprachbund
  • Summary/Abstract:The paper discusses the discourse marker де in the languages of the Balkan Sprachbund (Bulgarian, Albanian, Greek, and Romanian). Theories on the etymology of де in the Balkan languages are analyzed in view of the likelihood of a substratum, Turkic or Slavic origin. The focus is on the use and meaning of the discourse marker. In Bulgarian, Greek, and Albanian, three main meanings can be distinguished, along with some set phrases, while Romanian deviates from the Balkan pattern in the use of the marker.

  • Page Range:285-294
  • No. of Pages:10
  • Keywords:Bulgarian language; indefinite pronouns; reflexive clitic; parallel corpus; Ukrainian language
  • Summary/Abstract:The paper addresses three groups of Bulgarian indefinite pronouns and pronominal expressions incorporating the element си and their Ukrainian counterparts in a parallel bilingual corpus. The study shows that the pronouns of the type еди-Q си mostly correspond to demonstrative pronouns or expressions featuring a demonstrative pronoun in combination with a deictic particle (-ось, -от or -то). Indefinite pronouns proper (of the types Q-сь, Q-небудь and де-Q), as well as demonstrative pronouns in combination with the reflexive pronouns собі, primarily correspond to Bulgarian pronouns of the type нѣ-Q си, whereas the expressions не знам/помня Q си have Ukrainian expressions with a parallel structure, including a cognitive verb, as their most frequent counterparts.

  • Subject(s):Language and Literature Studies, Theoretical Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Morphology, Syntax, Descriptive linguistics
  • Page Range:295-303
  • No. of Pages:9
  • Keywords:vocative; cases; neutral alignment of case marking; typology; typological generalisation; morphosyntax
  • Summary/Abstract:The vocative is a largely understudied linguistic phenomenon. This text examines the implications of treating the vocative as a case value and of not treating it as such in languages with a neutral alignment of case marking of full noun phrases. Special attention is given to such languages lacking (overt) case (marking), barring, supposedly, (marking for) the vocative. The text argues in favour of employing a principled treatment of the vocative that affords sufficient room for typological generalisation while remaining faithful to language data.

  • Language:Bulgarian, Polish, Ukrainian

  • Page Range:304-310
  • No. of Pages:7
  • Keywords:language taboo; euphemism; semantic derivation; Ukrainian language; Polish language
  • Summary/Abstract:The article is devoted to the problem of semantic derivation in the field of euphemistic vocabulary. Euphemization is a dynamic phenomenon caused by linguistic and extra-linguistic factors. The replacement of linguistic taboos with euphemisms is based on the processes of secondary nomination, which involves the use of existing nominative means as new names of entities, processes, phenomena, actions. The creation of euphemistic vocabulary in Ukrainian and Polish is carried out through metonymic, metaphorical and functional transfers and generalization. Universal euphemisms in both languages arise due to the fact that most semantic models are formed by the same type of cultural codes, ones that are reflected in the language. Distinctive euphemistic nominations in Ukrainian and Polish define a specific view of the world, resulting from national and cultural factors and the historical development of the languages.

  • Keywords:adversarial system; expert opinion; generic structure; Bulgarian legal system; Russian legal system; Polish legal system; US common law
  • Summary/Abstract:The literature devoted to legal linguistics often ignores documents encountered in court discourse which contain expert conclusions (forensic investigation). This article attempts to determine the genre model of expert opinions. As part of it, there is also a brief explanation of the legal and cultural context of how judicial expertise works, since it directly affects the structure of the documents we are interested in. The authors compare the conclusions of forensic experts using documents taken from the Anglo-Saxon legal system (common law) and from the civil law system (Polish, Russian, and Bulgarian).

  • Language:Bulgarian, Romanian
  • Subject(s):Language studies, Language and Literature Studies, Theoretical Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Phonetics / Phonology, Language acquisition, Comparative Linguistics, Computational linguistics, Descriptive linguistics
  • Page Range:323-330
  • No. of Pages:8
  • Keywords:bilabial consonants; Bulgarian language; Romanian language; acoustic characteristics
  • Summary/Abstract:The study analyzes the acoustic characteristics of the bilabial consonants bj, pj and mj in the Bulgarian language and of the bilabial consonants b, p and m in the Romanian language, when preceding the graphic combination ea. The comparative analysis is based on the type of F1 and F2 transition, as the transition of F1 frequencies with soft consonants is lower at the beginning (onset) and higher at the end (offset), while F2 is characterized by higher initial frequencies and lower final frequencies. The experiments show that the acoustic characteristics of the Romanian bilabial consonants b, p and m before ea are close to the acoustic characteristics of the Bulgarian soft bilabial consonants.
