Balkan History: No Longer European, Not Only Ottoman, and Not Yet National - A Case Study on the Historical Novel

Author(s): Albena Hranova / Language(s): English

In the final chapter of Imagining the Balkans (1997), while advancing arguments on the concept of the Balkans as an Ottoman legacy, Maria Todorova writes: “Turning to the Ottoman legacy as perception, it has been and is being shaped by generations of historians, poets, writers, journalists and other intellectuals.” In the Bulgarian edition (1999), Todorova adds a paragraph with names of writers to which she was referring – Ivo Andric, Dimitar Talev, Dobrica Cosic, Nikos Kazandzakis, and Anton Donchev. Especially the Bulgarian figures lead us to the role of the historical novel in shaping this legacy. [...]

За лексиката с чужд произход в оригиналното творчество на Патриарх Евтимий

Author(s): Mariyana Tsibranska-Kostova / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Old Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The study is an essay to draw a classification of the lexemes with foreign origin, mostly Greek and Latin, according to the 13th original works of Patriarch Eythymius. Those lexical strata englobe multifunctional and nonhomogeneous unities, dispersed in different textual contexts. They are just a nuance, not the base of the vocabulary, but perform important historical, cognitive, and stylistic functions, rising the prestige of the lexical richness, and crediting it with international dimensions in basic conceptual spheres of Christianity.

Изразните средства на исихастката апофатичност като отражение на древни мисловни модели

Author(s): Ivan G. Iliev / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Old Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The article treats the means of expression of hesychastic apophaticism, used by Old Bulgarian writers of the 14th – 15th centuries, and the author tries to show that these means are very old, and were characteristic even for the mind of primitive people. He pays attention to the synonymy of ‘aphophatic’ negative pronouns and ‘cataphatic’ summative pronouns; to the pleonastic use of the negative particle не; to the syntactic but- constructions; and to necessative constructions.

Лексикални разночетения и география на средновековните текстове (за един молдовски препис на Псевдозонариния номоканон от XVI век)

Author(s): Mariyana Tsibranska-Kostova / Language(s): Bulgarian,Old Slavonic,Old Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The article is dedicated to the practically unknown copy of the so-called Pseudo-Zonaras Nomocanon kept in the Library of the Saint Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church in Bucharest under signature BSS Ms.sl.II 267. The historical context of its emergence and the metadata of the manuscript are studied in comparison with the traditions of this nomocanon in Wallachia and Moldavia after the 14th century, when the Bulgarian translation appeared. Separate Greek words and lexical variations are commented on, such as факеол-венец-савон; посадница, палакида, кавка, накато, some of them with a status of occasional readings for this special Moldavian copy. The author highlights the role of the 16th century Moldavian literature for the preservation of the Middle Bulgarian written heritage.

Лексикалното богатство на югозападните български говори в описания от третата четвърт на ХIХ век

Author(s): Maria Mitzkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

As an object of research, the lexical richness of the South-Western Bulgarian dialects attracts a considerable philological interest on behalf of such prominent figures as Yordan Hadzhikonstantinov-Dzhinot, Stefan Verkovich, Lyuben Karavelov, Vasil Cholakov who focus upon both public life and relation between the written and spoken form of the language characteristic of the third quarter of the 19th century. This richness is studied in a number of publications to be found in the periodicals from that period and presented in the form of integral components or small dialect dictionaries appended to the folklore collections. This interest is provoked by the archaic traits of these dialects preserving vivid traces of the old Bulgarian heritage, on the one hand, and, on the other, by the focus on the Bulgarian dialects characterizing the period of Bulgarian national revival in connection to the establishing of the standardized Bulgarian literary language in which, to a greater or lesser extent, the characteristic features of the Eastern Bulgarian dialects start to dominate in the new linguistic normativity.
