Denominal lexis in glossary of Bulgarian language. Encyclopedic dictionary of derivatives of proper names

Отименна лексика в словника на българския език. Енциклопедичен речник на производни от собствени имена

Author(s): Boris Parashkevov / Language(s): Bulgarian

Keywords: Vocabulary; word; words; nouns; language; adjectives; verbs; Bulgarian; Bulgaria; encyclopedic; dictionary; linguistics; etymological; proper names; common names; derivatives; terms; book, books

This lexicon, which is structurally the first of its kind among our dictionaries, includes presented nouns and adjectives, as well as insignificant number of verbs in the Bulgarian language. The common feature is that they are derived from their proper names, with the main purpose of creating new terms in different areas of knowledge. Information in dictionary articles has a marked etymological and tight encyclopedic character. Derivatives are words formed from the headword by the addition of a suffix (for example, enshrined at the entry for enshrine). These are often entered as the final section of an entry. Many derivatives are included as headwords in their own right. They are followed by a quotation block illustrating examples of usage.

Folk Etymologies. Words and Names with Secondary Semantic and Morphological Motivation

Народни етимологии. Думи и имена с вторична семантична и морфологична мотивация

Author(s): Boris Parashkevov / Language(s): Bulgarian

Keywords: Vocabulary; Etymology; word; words; nouns; unfamiliar form; language; adjectives; verbs; Bulgarian; Bulgaria; encyclopedic; dictionary; linguistics; origins; lexicology; etymological; terms; book, books

Etymology is the most popular area of linguistics, particularly its lexicology. This is the study of the history of words, their origins, and how their forms and meanings have changed over time. By extension, the term "the etymology (of the word)" means the origin of the particular word. In a simpler sense today, we associate the term Etymology with clarifying the question of where a foreign or unknown word comes from. "Folk Etymology" represents the naive attempt to make sense of a vague word. It is a change in a word or phrase resulting from the replacement of an unfamiliar form by a more common one. This is sometimes called pseudo-etymology, popular etymology, or analogical reformation. The form or the meaning of an archaic, foreign, or otherwise unfamiliar word is reanalyzed so as to resemble more familiar words or morphemes. "Folk Etymology" (subtitled "Words and Names with Secondary Semantic and Morphological Motivation") traces the true origin of copious words, indicates which use is legitimate and what kind of deviation is involved from the original form, as well as its acceptability and its avoidance from loanwords when used in their natural environment beyond the Bulgarian language. The book dedicates itself to the 120th anniversary of the publication of the monograph "Contribution to the Bulgarian Vernacular Etymology" by Prof. Ivan Shishmanov (1862-1928).

Word by Word...Entertaining Lexicology

От дума на дума... Занимателна лексикология

Author(s): Boris Parashkevov / Language(s): Bulgarian

Keywords: Vocabulary; Lexicology; lexicography; epistemology; semantics; Etymology; word; formation; words; nouns; unfamiliar form; categories; language; linguistic; Bulgarian; Bulgaria; encyclopedic; dictionary; origins; etymological; terms; book; books

One of the parts of linguistics is the science of words called lexicology. Lexicology is the part of linguistics which studies words. This includes their nature and function as symbols, their meaning, the relationship of their meaning to epistemology in general, and the rules of their composition from smaller elements. Lexicological issues are discussed and elucidated in general manuals and in specific scientific developments, and their results find a generalization and practical application in dictionaries, i.e. in lexicography. This lexicon is claimed to be a practical complement to the theoretical formulations of lexicology and corrective sort of data in lexicography, where the etymological reference is rarely comprehensive and not always reliable. In the book, in the form of 357 dictionary articles and with the apparatus of the lexicological categories in front of the reader, many specific questions related to the origin and history of some of the words in the Bulgarian language are discussed. The explanatory notes draw information from the achievements of three other linguistic areas: etymology, semantics and word formation.

Bulgarian Encyclopedic Dictionary

Български тълковен речник

Author(s): Vasilka Radeva / Language(s): Bulgarian

Keywords: Language; vocabulary; Bulgarian; knowledge; speech; practice; culture; interpretation; word; words; understanding; lexicography; lexical system; lexemes; meanings; book;books;

The present “Bulgarian Encyclopedic Dictionary” is addressed to all those who are interested in the word enriching of the modern Bulgarian language. It covers mainly the commonly used vocabulary, whose correct use in speech is an important prerequisite for building and enhancing the language culture. The interpretation of the words is short and sparing with the aim of accurately presenting their lexical meaning, making the use of a one-word lexicography booklet easy and convenient. The inclusion of the foreign language vocabulary that has entered the Bulgarian language in the last decades gives an opportunity to realize its place and role in enriching the Bulgarian vocabulary, considering its use in the speech practice. There are also new words and meanings that reveal the dynamics of the Bulgarian lexical system without reflecting individual and professional uses. The Bulgarian vocabulary is intended for all the Bulgarian language spokesmen who are not indifferent to the correct understanding and the correct use of the words.

Bulgarian Lexicology and Lexicography

Българска лексикология и лексикография

Author(s): Vasilka Radeva / Language(s): Bulgarian

Keywords: Language; vocabulary; Bulgarian; knowledge; speech; practice; culture; interpretation; word; words; nomination unit; understanding; lexicography; lexical system; units; function; lexemes; meanings; book; books

“Bulgarian Lexicology and Lexicography” is a result of the lasting interest of V. Radeva in semantics of the words as the main language unit. It does not only lean on lectures and lecture courses in Leipzig, West Berlin and Saarbrucken, but also it contains a wealth of information that gives the opportunity to create interest in further lexicological issues. Built on the theoretical foundations and achievements of modern lexicology, the work reveals the character of the word as a nomination unit, which through its speech realization performs the communicative function of language. The presentation of word formation is consistent with the role of the derivative word in structuring the lexical system and clarifying the link between word-forming and lexical meaning. Semantic connections in the lexical system are addressed in their development and modification to reveal the dynamic nature of vocabulary. The creation of new lexical units, the elimination of outdated words and meanings, as well as the acquisition of a foreign language vocabulary are clarified as adaptation of the vocabulary to the communicative needs of the spokespersons of the language. Included lexicography section contains information that shows the close relationship of lexicology with lexicographical theory and practice. Designed primarily for philology students, this work will be useful for anyone who seeks to learn and use the Bulgarian word(s) correctly.
