Author(s): Dzvenyslava-Khrystyna Saienko,Marko Gladiš / Language(s): Slovak,English,Bulgarian Issue: 3/2021

Humanity has crashed into a reality it was not prepared for; therefore, it needs to find ways to make those events explicit and eventually communicate them. This has enforced the need for creating numerous linguistic elements that could most adequately signify the extralinguistic phenomena. This paper tries to present such newly established linguistic phenomena during the COVID-19 pandemic in several discussion areas – medicine, science, mass media, and daily life. The focus is mainly on the modes by which those social areas try to communicate their messages in the public sphere. The article is based on research on Bulgarian and Slovak online media.

Examples for test items are given in conformity with each of these criteria. A comparison is made between teaching two languages – English and Latin, and some differences are emphasized. The test criteria, traditionally used to develop tests in English as a foreign language, have been applied to Latin for medical purposes. The resulting self-study tests contain more varied test questions ranging from simple to more complex, which is stimulating and beneficial to learners of different medical academic specialties.

Към „софийския роман“ на Иван Вазов

Author(s): Antonia Velkova-Gaydarzhieva / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 2/2021

One of the core themes in Vazov’s short stories offers an original chronicle, a picture of the city life and culture in Sofia, its character and mentality. The capital city motif in Vazov’s works was approached and analyzed forty years ago by Svetlozar Igov in his article “On the Sofia Novel of Ivan Vazov”, which in turn was rejected by the then literary circles. Taking this article into account, this paper reconstructs and interprets the complex relations and the literary clash between the most original modern Bulgarian literary historian Svetlozar Igov on the one hand, and the key poet and leader of the “April generation” Lyubomir Levchev on the other hand.

Наивистичните небивалици на Йордан Радичков

Author(s): Denitsa Astahova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 2/2021

The article examines the connection between fine arts and literature, and compares the naivist style of the painting and poetics of Yordan Radichkov in order to explain the emergence of a new phenomenon in the artistic style of the writer and the Bulgarian fiction of the 1960s – the collection Svirepo Nastroenie (Fierce Mood). The analyzed examples from the writer’s stories reveal correspondences with typical features of naivist painting – emphasis on detail, naivist mixing of distant images, and unmasking fear by interweaving comic and grotesque elements in the plot picture.

Български автори от Таврия

Author(s): Elena Nalbantova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The object of observation is the literature created in Bulgarian by representatives of our historical diaspora in Tavria. It is described as series of three episodes, the emergence of which became possible after changes in the political context. The considered creative manifestations are from the time of the Russian Empire, from the 30s of the XX century and from the most recent time. Specific observations on the prose, published between 1932 and 1940, are made for the first time thanks to my collaboration with the Bulgarian from Chisinau Elena Raceeva. Despite the indisputable manifestations of creative talent, for the most part Taurian Bulgarian literature is an illustration of circumstances, rather than of creative potential.

Онимни следи от българите в Бахчисарай (Крим)

Author(s): Mariyana Parzulova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The purpose of the study is the onymy (oikonymy, ethnonymy, oronymy, toponymy, castelonymy, hydronymy, etc.) of the city of Bakhchisaray, located in the territory of the Crimean peninsula, which proves that for centuries there, lived many tribes and nations.

Today in Bakhchisaray our compatriots continue to live, as evidenced by some anthroponyms, eortonyms and others.

Фамилни имена, производни от стари названия на занятия

Author(s): Ludwig Selimski / Language(s): Turkish,English,Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The surnames are considered from the point of view of their linguistic origin, word-formation structure and primary meaning – 109 surnames, which were not a subject of such an analysis, or, although they were worthy of analysis in St. Ilchev (1969), were deemed “unclear“, or received an unacceptable explanation, or their analysis needed some further additions and/or corrections. Some of the old, unpopular or perhaps forgotten names of occupations, borrowings mostly from Turkish, are embedded in their 41 stems. We will not find some of them even in the most exhaustive lexicographical works. In the analysis of surnames special attention is paid to their sound structure and to the phonetic and other sound changes reflected in it, which sometimes seriously hamper the researcher in correctly identifying the given form with its initial state, to reconstruct the primary form.
