The article provides a historical point of view on foreign language teaching and learning in Bulgaria while analyzing certain opinions and conceptions of Bulgarian publishers, writers and teachers regarding this topic, discovered in the prefaces of several books published from 1830’s to 1870’s. The question of foreign language education during the Bulgarian Revival period is connected not only to the need of intercultural communication within the framework of the multilingual Ottoman Empire as well in the European context, but it also contributes to the development of the Bulgarian linguistic thought during that era. At the same time, the foundation concepts of language intellectualization and internationalization being two of the major goals of the Bulgarian standard language construction process are strongly related to the basic ideas of standardization, cultivation and high prestige of the literary language still in a stage of shaping.

The article is devoted to the problem of multilingual education in the context of situation in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). Through the clarification of main notions, the model of multilingual education developed now in the Sakha Republic (the largest region of the Russian Federation) is discussed. It is revealed that the model is based on “Western” approach in educational practices and characterized by the systematic integration of the teaching of languages into the educational system. It is concluded that the model is aimed at achieving functional bi- and multilingualism – effective mastering the second and third languages using bi- and multilingual education – and built on parity bilingualism (native-state languages) and in-depth study of foreign (English) language.

The investigation in question is recorded in a series of thirty-eight register entries on a case of financial malfeasance in recently-conquered Ottoman Egypt that was investigated by officials from Ottoman Syria. This case appears in the oldest existing mühimme defteri, a register of important affairs of the Ottoman Empire, and provides detailed information about how the Ottomans governed their provinces. It lists many of the taxes and revenues collected by the Ottomans and discusses the most important treasury personnel in the province and the documents they created. It also describes how the Ottoman state worked to control those personnel even at a distance and to induce these officials to adhere to concepts of just imperial rule. The article describes the issues in the case and identifies the provincial officials involved in the investigation, the documents they were supposed to collect or create, and the procedures they were commanded to follow. The conclusion examines the implications of the case for our understanding of the place of Syria and Egypt within the wider Ottoman Empire in the sixteenth century. This episode presents an instance of the Ottoman integration of newly conquered lands in a period when records are fairly plentiful (in contrast to the conquest of Rumeli, where most of our evidence comes from chronicles written at a later date). Beyond that, this case illuminates the whole issue of how an empire operates and challenges the stereotype of general Ottoman oppression of the conquered territories.

The paper proposes a critical reading of the approach to the verbal categories aspect, tense, mood and voice in the Modern Greek Language, as adopted in the textbooks and teachers’ methodological guides for the Greek Middle School (Gymnasium). The analysis of the textbooks and the methodological guides takes into consideration the following aspects: sources of theoretical framework, adoption of up-to-date theoretical insights, theses and terminology, differences in the approach to the verbal categories and use of controversial or non-conforming to the language reality theses. The main conclusions are that the contemporary linguistic approaches are incorporated in the methodological guides, while the textbooks adhere to obsolete theoretical framework and terminology, and that a number of important issues pertaining to the Modern Greek verbal system are insufficiently analyzed or not analyzed at all.

The paper is devoted to the problems of lexical paronymy in the aspect of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The paper examines the verbal single-root paronymic lexemes of the Russian language and their equivalents in the Bulgarian language. The relevance of the study is due to the processes of globalization and intercultural dialogue, as well as the concomitant problems of reducing the language culture. Linguistic and didactical difficulties of paronymy and its teaching in the Bulgarian audience are due to the phenomenon of inter-linguistic homonymy. Among the system errors in the study of the Russian language, there is a mixture of paronyms as a violation of lexical normativity. We provide a generalized table of the use of paronymic verbs, which analyzes intergenerational equivalents.

The handwriting Maurizio da Castellazzo‘s dictionary is likely to be the first survived Bulgarian-Italian Dictionary of the times of the Bulgarian Revival.
