Научнофантастични сюжети и обекти в поезията на Вислава Шимборска

Author(s): Margreta Grigorova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2016

There are science fiction plots and motifs in the work of Wislawa Szymborska. They can be found in poems such as “Kałuże” (Puddles), “Kilkunastoletnia” (Teenage Girl) and “Ludzie na moście” (The People on the Bridge). Their integration into Szymborska’s poems may be linked to her experimental imagination, non-acceptance of the conventional vision of the world and ability to see the humorous side of the universe and joke about it. In her poetry we can find visions of alternative and possible worlds and attempts to penetrateinto “antiworlds” and “antimatter.” The plots and motifs, which were borrowed from science fiction, partially retain their original structural functions within their new poetic context. At the same time, however, they have undergone significant changes, thus also altering their receiving context.

Размисли за съставните глаголни сказуеми, с първи компонент – форма на безличен глагол

Author(s): Ivan Nedev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2018

The paper deals with some of the boundaries of the Compound Verbal Predicates in Bulgarian language whose first component is expressed by an impersonal verb (the second component can be expressed either by a form of a personal verb, or by a form of an impersonal verb or a personal verb with an impersonal usage). The starting point from which we proceed is that any combination consisting of two verb forms (linked together by the linguistic element да in Bulgarian), the first of which is a form of an impersonal verb, functions in the sentence as a Compound Verbal Predicate in the Bulgarian language. To establish such a Predicate, it is essential to prove that its first component is expressed by a form of an impersonal verb.

Отново за езика в интернет

Author(s): Mariya Grozeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2017

The language used on the Internet continues to attract the interest of researchers from various scholarly fields. The rapid development of information technology and the specific characteristics of the new media environment bring about changes in the language, as well as the emergence of new electronic genres and styles. The issue being discussed in the present study is to what extent Internet language can be considered a different weblanguage, an internet-language, or whether it is rather a language variety, a type of a cultural dialect. In addition, it is worthwhile tracing the changes and the trends that are discernible in this language variety – whether it is diverging from- or converging on the standard language norm, or whether it is developing and imposing its own rules and norms.

Полското рицарство и България в контекста на първия кръстоносен поход („Кръстоносци“ на Зофия Косак)

Author(s): Ivan G. Raychev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

Тhis article comes in connection with the 60th anniversary of the death of Polish writer Zofia Kosak (1899–1968). Нer most famous novel, Krzyїowcy (Crusaders), is mainly related to the First Crusade (1095–1099), but here we focus on an episode of the novel, which is a little deviant from the theme of the First Crusade and refers to another historical context. Thе article deals with the interpretation of Zophia Kosak of an important event of Bulgarian history – the return to Bulgaria after the defeat at the Battle of Belasitsa (1014) of Bulgarian soldiers blinded by the Byzantine emperor Basil II. We try to find the answer to the following questions: How, according to the novel Krzyїowcy, this event blends into the context of the First Crusade; Is there anything in common with the fate of the Bulgarian and Polish warriors in the XI century? Is it possible that the author has created “her own” “Bulgarian folk song”?

Summarizing the presented data, the author expresses her expectation that the still-missing A Brief Interpretation of Liturgy („Краткое тълкование на литургията“) could be found during field research in some of the places of Christian worship in the country

Постбиологичната еволюция в „Премахването на видовете“от Дитмар Дат

Author(s): Branka B. Ognjanović / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2019

The paper gives an insight into the postbiological evolution and the posthuman world in the novel “The Abolition of Species” („Die Abschaffung der Arten“, 2008) by Dietmar Dath. The term postbiological evolution refers to a human-driven evolution that in the novel leads to a world inhabited by human descendants in the form of machines and animals. It analyzes the development of the opposed civilizations of robots (the so-called Keramikaner) and human-animal hybrids (the so-called Gente). The posthuman world they inhabit is a world in which Man is no longer at the center of world history and only lives on thanks to technogenic and genetic modifications. The aim of the paper is to explore the depiction of the altered relationship of the modern humans to their biological and technological environment by analyzing the influence of the theories of postbiological life and posthumanism on the novel.
