Author(s): Desislava Yordanova-Petrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2015

The subject of this article is the inferential (renarrative) forms in Bulgarian and their functional equivalents into Greek. The lack of such a mood in the Greek verb system brings to asymmetry between the two languages to that regard and causes difficulties in translating from Bulgarian into Greek and vice versa. The interest for that linguistic phenomenon was specifically roused by the difficulties encountered by the Bulgarians studying Greek in their attempts to convey the inferential (renarrative) mood into Greek. The research is based on a corpus consisting of original Bulgarian texts translated into Greek.

To Reveal the Caucasus Cultures of XIX Century: Orientalism in Russian Caucasus War Period Travelogues

Author(s): Dmitry Tkachenko,Tatiana Kolosovskaya / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

The paper is concerned with the issue of textual visualisation of Caucasus in Russian travelogues performed in 1820-1830th – the decades of the Caucasus War escalation. Taken as example entries from the travelogues of I.T. Radojitsky and V.B. Bronevsky published in Russian Empire in early XIX c., the authors show deep connections of the outlook on the region and people inhabited it with the foundation of the Orientalism as an approach to describing native people of the Imperial frontier.The research underlines the importance of scrutinised study of travellers experience they endured on voyages by the Caucasus in deep connection with the political course on “pacifying” the region, proclaimed by the Imperial authorities. Racy images of the Cossacks, Russian settlers, native peoples and “unpacified” highlanders were performed in order to legislate the Imperial annexation of lands and their acquisition by Russian civilisation. Together with the motives of showing huge contrast between the pastoral life of Russian peasants and towns dwellers with the backwardness of the natives, matched the common ideas of European colonialism, the authors show public awareness of the “unpacified” highlanders expressed by the travellers in the image of “a Circassian”. We traced features of Russian literature Romanticism in the travellers depicture of a Highlander as a “noble savage” did for a living by robs and plunders. The authors came to the conclusions that images, elaborated by Russian travellers and righters were utter vivid and influenced on the perception of the region by Russian layman until the early XX c.The paper is concerned with the issue of textual visualisation of Caucasus in Russian travelogues performed in 1820-1830-th. – the decades of the Caucasus War escalation.

Биография на репресираната тюркология в България

Author(s): Milena Angelova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2023

This article is a review of the book “Turkology in Exile: Mefküre Mollova. A Biographical Study”, authored by Zeynep Zafer and Murie Muratova. Mefküre Mollova (1927–2009) was the first Turkish woman and university professor in Bulgaria, who gained international fame with her research in the field of Turkology. She devoted herself to unexplored issues of Turkish dialectology, related to the Turkish dialects in Bulgaria and other linguistic questions. Mefküre Mollova was among the founders of the Turkish Philology at the University of Sofia. She had worked for only about 7 years (1953–1961), when she and her husband were dismissed from their academic positions. Although unemployed and persecuted in communist Bulgaria, Mefküre Mollova continued to publish her work both in the country and abroad. She published her research in four languages – French, Turkish, Bulgarian, and Russian, but mostly in French. Mefküre Mollova was also the first Turkish poet to publish poems in Turkish periodicals and the only woman who managed to publish an independent collection of poems in Turkish in Bulgaria. In addition, she is the first author of several well-written travelogues. Having gained fame and recognition around the world, in her homeland she and her husband Riza Mollov are forgotten and neglected. Their refusal to collaborate with the communist authorities and to falsify academic research stigmatized them for decades and the autors hope that this book will contribute to correcting this injustice.

Създаване на първата академична специалност Български език и литература в Турция

Author(s): Zeynep Zafer / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2023

Russian Language and Literature is among the first foreign philologies established in the officially opened in 1935 Faculty of Languages, History and Geography in Ankara. In 1962 Bulgarian language began to be taught at the Language School of the Land Forces in Istanbul. The forced change of the names of the Turks in Bulgaria in 1984-1985, which caused a deterioration in bilateral relations, delayed the establishment of the planned bachelor's program in Bulgarian language and literature in the early 1980s. Thus, Polish Language and Literature (1987/1988) overtook Bulgarian studies and became the second philological specialty of the Slavic languages, opened at the University of Ankara. 1991 is the birth date of the academic department university specialty Bulgarian language and literature in Turkey, when the first group of students was admitted. For 32 years, it went through various stages of development or stagnation, but retained its status as a specialty. This article aims to present her previously unexplored and unknown history.

ДОСТОВЕРНОСТ, АВТОРИТЕТНОСТ, ЯСНОТА: ВЛИЯНИЕ НА ПАРАМЕТРИТЕ НА ЕКСПЕРТНАТА РЕЧ В МЕДИИТЕ ВЪРХУ НАЧИНА НА ВЪЗПРИЕМАНЕ НА ИНФОРМАЦИЯТА

Author(s): Andreana Eftimova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2022

The article examines the influence of the parameters of expert speech on the trustworthiness, authority and clarity of information in the media. The following parameters of the expert speech, based on research on the specifics of the professional and media register (Halliday 1989, Videnov 2012 and others), in the media texts were observed: presence, adequacy and naming of the sources - expert and informational; presence of professional vocabulary and terminology; complicating the syntactic organization of utterances; presence of international vocabulary and foreign words and expressions; presence of evaluative and expressive vocabulary (metaphors, etc.); use of modal and conditional constructions to distinguish factual from non-factual information; correlation of indicative and retelling forms. A survey was conducted to establish the influence of linguistic facts on the assessment of expert speech in media reports. A survey was conducted on sentences from 14 informational articles selected using the keywords "coronavirus experts". The questionnaire contained 12 multiple-choice questions, grouped into three sections according to the criteria to be measured: trustworthiness (6 questions), clarity (3 questions) and authority (3 questions). The comments establish a different influence of the same language parameters on the sense of trustworthiness, authority and clarity of the content. Their reading depends on the experience, skills and attitudes of the audience to understand the media text.

Жени на фронта през 1944/1945: образи и сюжети

Author(s): Maia Angelova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2023

The article juxtaposes normative sketches written during the time of the People’s Re-public of Bulgaria (NRB), which build a collective image of the volunteers of the Second World War, and authentic life stories, in which literary raw moments captured in archival materials (letters, memories, diaries, tapes) are discovered, or interviews published in the 21st century. The collective essay model, created in the prism of social realism by Dimitrina Shtereva, published in the two representative books popularizing the exploits of military women in the 1960s, has been accepted as the norm. In the second part, the archived essay of the well-realized Zdravka Hristova processed in the prism of social realism is closely examined. Comparatively, to these collective and individual images, the literary silhouette of the military correspondent Frülinka Novachkova, who has no other biography than what was said in the obituaries on the occasion of her supposed death, is close.

За категорията определеност-неопределеност в съпоставителното описание на българския и руския език

Author(s): Damyan Mitev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2024

The task of the presented work is to outline the specific features of the category definiteness- indefiniteness in the structural organization of the two related languages – Bulgarian and Russian, and on this basis to reveal the common features and differences in the linguistic expression of the respective categorial meanings. To denote the category in the study the term is adopted, which emphasizes the objectively existing in Bulgarian and Russian language opposition of two generalized categorial-grammatical quantities. The comparative examination does not pretend to solve the problem of the essence and specificity of the category definiteness- indefiniteness in its entirety, since this is one of the most complex grammatical categories in nature. With regard to the Bulgarian language, for example, despite the accumulated literature with expressed opinions, its full and multifaceted illumination is still awaited [22, p. 78, also the literature referred to by her]. Our attention here will be directed to the possibility of a broader representation of the category, of the linguistic ways and means of expressing definiteness and indefiniteness in the two languages, in view of the aims and objectives of comparative description.

Zwicky as a Pluralist

Author(s): Alan Heiblum Robles / Language(s): English Issue: 23/2024

Fritz Zwicky is best known to the general public for his scientific work. His methodological views are less known and some of his philosophical ideas did not receive favorable reviews. In other reading, however, Zwicky’s principle of flexibility of scientific truth, which asserts that no scientific statement can be absolute but rather subject to refinements or expansions, shows it as a contribution to epistemic pluralism.
