Language Transfer and Problems of Teaching Bulgarian for Slav Students

Author(s): Nadezhda Stalyanova,Elena Krejčová / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

The text presents the problems of studying Bulgarian as a second language by Slavs with an emphasis on the specifics of foreign language teaching in a Slavic environment. The study presents a theoretical view of the language contacts, transfer and interference in the context of second language acquisition. We pay special attention to the issues of mutual linguistic influences and the genetic closeness between languages ​​through the prism of their acquisition. The influence of the first language on the acquisition and later on the use of the second language can be positive, negative and even zero influence. The positive influence is manifested in the fact that the practical and theoretical knowledge of the first language, language habits and skills support the process of learning a new language and its use as a tool for communication. The positive transfer can be specified according to various criteria: e.g. can be divided into conscious and spontaneous, direct and transformed, etc. Negative influence is manifested at all language levels through the so-called negative transfer or interference – these are the errors that occur due to the influence of the first language on the second and which bear the signs of the first language. We also present opposite views that the linguistic transfer on the one hand can greatly facilitate the acquisition of a second Slavic language, but also the view that closeness between languages ​​can lead to excessive linguistic interference.

Еврейските мотиви в „Сказание за буквите“ на Константин Костенечки – културни и интерпретационни проблеми

Author(s): Hristo Saldzhiev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2022

The present article deals with the translations of Hebrew and non Hebrew but presented as Hebrew anthroponyms and oikonyms in the work of Konstantin Konstenechki “Treatise of Letters” dating back to the first decade of the 15th century. Up to this moment excluding Jagić the researchers have not pay significant attention to this part of work and according to common opinion Konstantin did not know Hebrew language. However the careful language and textological analysis indicates that a big part of the translations of names and words loaned from the Old and New Testaments are identical or stay close to the etymologies including in the modern dictionaries and other are result of phonetic comparison to Aramaic. There are also translations influenced by Midrashes and the works of Philo of Alexandria.

Опит за историзиращ прочит на новела екземплум IX, Ден ІІ (Бернабò и Джиневра) от „Декамерон“ на Джовани Бокачо

Author(s): Angel Angelov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

I attempt to restore elements of the horizon of perception that readers and listeners of the Bernabò and Zinevra novella (IX, Day II) from Decameron may have had in Italian cities in the mid-14th century. I discuss topics such as sustainability in social roles, cruelty and justice, the image of wolves, topography, the relationship between fairy tale and authenticity, the importance of the exemplum. The novel exemplum conveys experience, indicates a norm and its violation. Speaking of truth, deception and punishment, the short story establishes a pattern of behaviour.

Жанрови парадигми в „Балада за Георг Хених“

Author(s): Alexandar Panov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The article analyzes Victor Paskov's story "The Ballad of Georg Henich", following the four genre paradigms that build its unique composition. These paradigms are: ballad, story, memoir and passion. Each of them has its own way of processing the life material, its own composition and way of building the images of the main characters, its own way of posing the artistic problem, as well as a specific way of impact and social function. Despite the differences between the four genre paradigms clearly present in this book, its semantic world is emphatically unified. This unity is ensured by the fact that the idea of truth underlies all four genre models. In essence, this book observes four ways of presenting and evaluating the truth, which are so organically intertwined that they form a unique, harmonious and emotionally convincing whole.

„Златорог“ спрямо политиките в културата и образованието

Author(s): Ognyana Georgieva-Teneva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The article reveals the attitude of “Zlatorog” towards state policies in culture and education. With the help of the problem-chronological and culturological approach is substantiated the statement that the journal insists on the state management of the spiritual life to be based on the principles of high professionalism, humanity and free development of the creative abilities. Some new arguments support the view that this journal is not apolitical and aesthetically self-closed, but is an active participant in the public debate on the culture and the value formation of young people. “Zlatorog” is presented as a platform for independent intellectuals concerned with the spiritual growth of society who critically analyze the state’s cultural and educational directives and act as their corrective.

The object of this article are the books from the series Children's Life which Geo Milev published in 1913 and 1914.

The aim of this article is to prove that as an integral initiative the poems from Children’s Life can be placed in the broader context of Geo Milev’s modernist project. In the first part of the article the history of the series is presented and an unknown poem by the poet is published. In the second part it is emphasized on the author’s desire to show his readers the modernist parameters of what he called “aesthetic emotion”.

The 1920s in Hristo Karastoyanov’s novel “The Same Night Awaits Us All” – Light and Darkness

Author(s): Trayana Lateva / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

The paper aims to comment on the representation of the 1920s, seen through the last few years of the lives of the poet Geo Milev and the anarchist Georgi Sheytanov, as shown in one of the most famous contemporary Bulgarian novels, written by Hristo Karastoyanov, “The Same Night Awaits Us All”. In order this to be achieved a few key scenes are analyzed, since they introduce main themes and narrative strategies, followed throughout the novel, as well as point out the allegorical contrast between light and darkness, good and evil. Subject to interpretation are also the characters’ motifs, actions, emotional states and reactions, particularly to the presence of death, which seems to be impossible to overlook and plays an importing part in setting the overall tone of the novel.

From fairy tales to smart concepts: Storytelling for VR

Author(s): Iliana FRANKLIN,Austin HILL,Anastasia GUROVA,Stevie STEDMAN,Leroy DIAS,Molly BABINGTON / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2021

What we see around us and how today will affect tomorrow is all depending on our creativity. Our intelligent life is inspired from our imagination. Since the world exists the main source of ideas has derived from the fairy tales and fables that humanity learned in its infancy. These brainstorming sources of ideas are constantly used by the science and technology to move our life forward through embodying our dreams for freedom, justice, democracy and sustainability through smart concepts and solutions. The future is here inspired by myths and legends and represented by Michio Kaku in his futuristic visions. Our proposed work is to visualise some of these ideas into smart concepts for the future. Our panel will discuss and demonstrate how an idea can transform storytelling into a VR concept and will shed light onto the rise of some of the most ground-breaking emerging technologies.

Другата руска тройка. Случаят Достоевски

Author(s): Lyudmil Dimitrov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

This text attempts to trace a hidden archetype in nineteenth-century Russian literature and how it works in Dostoevsky. As much as there is a lot of space in the metaliterature of the Russian troika, understood as a horses driving and its symbolic metamorphosis of a bird-trio in Gogol, the emphasis here is on the topic, which I can call the “other Russian troika (trio)”. It is about the presence of an almost sacred three-dimensional character, who at one point is attacked and overturned against his presumption of holiness by a fourth demonological hero and a serious battle for his re-sacralization is imminent. Set by the three Baroque witches in Shakespeare's “Macbeth”, led by Hekate, this model was first tested in nineteenth-century Russian literature by Pushkin in “A Tale of Tsar Saltan”, and then in two stages, feminized and masculinized, developed by Dostoevsky in “The Idiot” and “The Karamazov Brothers”, respectively, and finally finds its triumphant ending in Chekhov's “Three Sisters”, whose character system parodies that of “The Idiot”. Why is Dostoevsky such an important link in the listed paradigm?

Идентичността като пребиваване в Другия

Author(s): Magdalena Kostova-Panayotova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The article focuses on Michael Ondaatje’s novel The English Patient, which deals with the issues of identity, belonging to the nation, family, community, friends. According to the ideas of the text, the realization through the Other, the care of the person whom you “flowed into”, whose soul has become more important than family and homeland, is the empathy that is necessary to overcome pain, war, loss and boundaries. The time in the novel unfolds in a specific historical period, against the backdrop of one of the most tragic episodes of the twentieth century, yet the culturological context of The English Patient includes the Antiquity and Renaissance art, history and music, fine arts, as well as the European prose of the XIX century. By shaking the idea of national priorities, the narrative, shows that the history of European civilization is irreducible to simply war and destruction.

Медицински конотации в понятието „криза“

Author(s): Iveta Tasheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

This paper attempts to show how medical terminology and medical connotations mark concepts that later become central to philosophical, cultural, political, and social discourse. In this case, the chosen concept is the notion of crisis, which has been central to medicine since antiquity, has marked with meanings all subsequent epochs, and has become significant for our entire modernity. In short, it shows how medical connotations carry over to unrestricted uses in the broader context of language, and the concept of crisis is open to uses of different orders and in diverse contexts. To arrive at the conviction that its use as a metaphor for states of decline, failure, degeneration, ruin prevails. It is said to be a crisis, but as in medicine, it refers to deterioration.
