Author(s): Petko St. Petkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

On the basis of published sources and original documents from the Scientific Archive of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, the Central State Archive, the Bulgarian Historical Archive at the National Library „St. Cyril and St. Methodius” and the State Archives – Ruse, the views and activities of Vasil Drumev – Kliment Branitski and Turnovski (1841 – 1901) are analyzed. He is one of the brightest personalities in the modern history of Bulgaria: a participant in the First Bulgarian Legion in 1862, a notable writer, one of the founders of the Bulgarian Literary Society in 1869, and after 1878 – a respected bishop, active public figure and statesman. Kliment participated in extremely important moments in the modern history of Bulgaria: the adoption of the Turnovo Constitution, the election of Prince Alexander I, the state building of the young principality, the struggle to restore the constitutional order 1881 – 1883, diplomatic protection of the Union 1885, restoration of relations with Russia and the international recognition of the Bulgarian prince in 1895 – 1896.

Open data availability in Croatian local government:

Author(s): Robertina Zdjelar,Anamarija Musa,Nikolina Žajdela HRUSTEK / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2021

Turbulent times marked by fast societal changes and various people or nature induced crises point to the need to improve citizens’ quality of life (QoL). With the accelerated technological development, the information technology and data are becoming increasingly used as a tool for the improvement of QoL. The development of Open Data (OD) portals, which display vast amount of public sector data, is one of the means to help creating a new value for the society and economy. The goal of this paper is to assess the availability of local government OD through OD portals and its potential to improve the quality of life of the local community. This research focuses on the analysis of the availability and content of the OD on the OD portals will be carried out on the example local governments in Croatia. The paper explores (1) To what extent is local government OD available to users (citizens, private sector, civil sector) via OD portals? (2) Is there a potential for the available OD to improve the quality of life? The results show that only a minority of local governments (less than two percent) publish their datasets on the OD portals, that the number and technical features of datasets is modest, and that they lack wider applicability. Compared to Eurostat QoL typology, citizens’ everyday life is hardly to be improved, although available OD might positively affect political and economic dimension of QoL The findings open up new research questions for academics, but also have implications to practitioners indicating the shortcomings in the approach to OD. The paper innovatively links the availability of data with QoL typology, given that the improvement of citizens lives is at the core of concept of OD.

Синтактичен правопис – слято и/или разделно писане. Когнитивни размисли

Author(s): Mariana Georgieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The explanation of merged and / or separate writing of words and phrases can only be achieved as a principled research position when the third axis in the coordinate system of language – the human consciousness, is taken into account. The syntactic orthographic principle explicitly introduces the cognitive approach, as the syntax expresses the cognitive need. This is a extremely sufficient justification for taking out of the vocabulary those supposedly complex words, but in fact word combinations, whose spelling is entirely and only syntactically justified – only separate writing.

Използване на статистически методи и ИКТ за представяне на преобладаващ личностен тип в класа

Author(s): Polina Dimitrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The article presents a lesson, which main purpose was to present data by tables and diagrams using computer program Excel. A test for defining the personality type of each student was made in advance by the school psychologist. On the basis of the collected data, the students had to make tables with the personality types of the class and also fill in the results during the lesson. The students also had to prepare column diagram using the information from the table deciding the design on their own. The purpose of this exercise was to check the ability of the students to use in practice their knowledge about the type of diagram they had already learned in previous lessons. The second type of diagram that they had to prepare was the pie. They had to use a format that shows the percentage of each sector. The goal of this exercise was to bind their knowledge from 5th grade with a future material they will learn in 6th grade about the pie diagram, and how to draw it. At the end of this exercise the students had to check if the percentage of the sectors coincides with the real number of people with that personality type and to conclude by themselves if the percentage was rounded or not.

Васил Левски като анонимен автор на „Писмо от България“ до вестник „Народност“

Author(s): Todor Radev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2022

The scientific paper analyzes an anonymous report to the Bucharest newspaper “Narodnost” published as “Letter from Bulgaria” in two consecutive issues in March 1869. The author of the report has not revealed his real name but has nevertheless left specific indicative signs that give material reason to believe this person was Vasil Levski himself. The thesis formulated herewith is supported by relevant evidence. The anonymous report is an important historical evidence for the participation of Vasil Levski in the revolutionary detachment action of 1867. At the same time, its overall contents complement the insufficient sources about his first organisational tour in Bulgaria. The first part of the anonymous report is an authentic text written by Vasil Levski, which has remained unnoticed by the specialized historiography.

По въпроса за времето и начина на създаване на Централния български революционен комитет в Българско

Author(s): Denis Ivanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2022

Two of the most important and still unresolved issues in the history of the Bulgarian committee movement in the late 60s and early 70s of the XIX century are when the CBRC in Bulgaria (the Lovech`s Central Committee), was established and what`s happened to the private revolutionary committee in Lovech after the establishment of the Central Committee in the same town. The most common opinions are that the CBRC in Bulgaria was established in the second half of 1870, in the spring or the autumn of 1871. According to me, CBRC in Bulgaria was most likely established at the end of September 1871. As for the second question, many historians think that Lovech`s private revolutionary committee has been transformed into a Central committee of the revolutionary organization in Bulgaria. However, some historical sources allow us to think that in the period from the end of September1871 to the so-called General Assembly of BRCC (April 29 – May 4, 1872) in Lovech there was both a Central and a private revolutionary committee.

Участието на Христо Тодоров Стоянов в Първия църковно-народен събор в Цариград през 1871 г.

Author(s): Hristina Hristova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2022

The purpose of this study is to present unknown and little known facts about the participation of the Sofia representative Hristo Todorov Stoyanov in the Church National Assembly in 1871. He was one of the most active participants in the discussions on the draft statute for the management and structure of the Bulgarian Exarchate. His legal education, extensive knowledge of ecclesiastical and Ottoman legislation, and personal qualities enabled him to express a competent and reasoned opinion in the disputes and discussions that accompanied all meetings. As an advocate of the democratic views regarding the structure of the Bulgarian Church, Hristo Stoyanov supported the principles of electivity and interchangeability of governing bodies, as well as of active participation of the people in the management of the Bulgarian Exarchate. He demonstrated views and a mindset of a parliamentarian that were modern for his time. The experience he had gained contributed to his future success as a member of the Constituent National Assembly in Veliko Tarnovo, as well as of the First and Second Ordinary National Assemblies. Stoyanov was among the “builders” of Modern Bulgaria. He was also a minister (three times), Chief Public Prosecutor, Chairman of the Supreme Court of Cassation of Bulgaria, a publicist and a respected lecturer at the St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia.

Административните преименувания и паметта за пловдивското пространство през ХХ век

Author(s): Vidin Sukarev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2022

In this paper are presented the main and little-known street and other urban areas’ name changes in Plovdiv during the XX century. Attention is also paid to the background from the late Ottoman period. The renaming actions implemented by the central or local authorities usually lead to partial or complete loss of historical memory, regardless of the policy, purpose and ideology. Most seriously were affected the names from the time of the Ottoman rule but there were more cases throughout the Bulgarian national history.

Культурная информация в романе А. С. Пушкина «Евгений Онегин»: стратегии и способы ретрансляции в португальских переводах

Author(s): Vasilisa Danilova,Irina Tivyaeva / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2022

The paper focuses on identifying and methodizing key strategies and ways of rendering culture specific information in Portuguese translations of Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin and aims at assessing their adequacy. Culture differences between Russia, Portugal, and Brazil provide grounds for cross-cultural barriers, the negative effect of which could be minimized if translation bridges the gap between the source and target cultural worlds. This research relies on culture specific lexical items known as ‘realia’ to examine how culture code is transferred in Russian-to-Portuguese translation of fiction. The study resulted in a new translation model providing an algorithm for rendering culture specific words. The model uses a complex of criteria that allow assessing equivalence and adequacy of items in the target language to those in the source language. Applying the model in the course of Russian-to-Portuguese translation will advance theoretically motivated decisions and contribute to the methodology of pre-translation fiction text analysis.

Предикатите за състояние от гледна точка на фазисната деривация: българско-руски паралели

Author(s): Svetlozara Leseva,Marina Dzhonova,Elena Yu. Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2022

В статията се представят в съпоставителен план възможностите за образуване на инхоативни глаголи от предикатите за състояние в българския и руския език. Разглежданите словообразувателни модели са застъпени в много по-висока степен в българския език, но и в двата езика аспектологичните характеристики налагат съществени ограничения по отношение на съчетаемостта на глагола с префикс с начинателно значение. В българския език възможността за образуване на инхоативи от даден предикат може да послужи като надежден диагностичен тест за принадлежността му към дадена онтологична категория в рамките на семантичната типология на предикатите.

Тональные контуры русских да-нет-вопросов в условиях болгарской интерференции

Author(s): Tatiana Aleksieva / Language(s): Russian Issue: 4/2022

Просодия русского языка является самым сложным аспектом даже для выпускников болгарских университетов, изучающих русский язык. Цель настоящего доклада – проанализировать, какими тональными контурами болгарские учащиеся реализуют русские да-нет-вопросы. Материалом экспериментально-фонетического исследования явился небольшой корпус минидиалогов на русском и болгарском языках. В эксперимента принимало участие шесть носителей болгарского языка. Интонационные контуры и тональные акценты болгарских студентов сопоставлялись с образцами речи носителей языка. Записи обработаны акустически и нотированы вручную с помощью программы PRAAT с использованием ToRI. Результаты исследования позволяют спрогнозировать возможные отклонения от норм просодической системы изучаемого языка.

Черният монах на Емилиян Станев и неговите готически събратя

Author(s): Ognyan Kovachev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2022

Emiliyan Stanev’s unfinished short novel The Black Monk still remains on the margins of his oeuvre, and also of research interest on the part of Bulgarian literary studies. On the other hand, the plot and the eponymous character fit it into a wide network of works by English, German, French, Russian and other authors, in the traditions of Gothic, Romanticism, Realism and their varieties, where the ‘Black Monk’ motif is a locus communis. I call the potential of such loci communes to form sets of works partially connected by separate, often contextually undetermined threads, polyvalent intertextuality. Comparing through it works by different authors, from different genres and nationalities, I come to the conclusion that their interaction can be described, in terms such as de- and reterritorialization (Deleuze and Guattari), as rhizomatic and gothic. This paper does not range over historical-philosophical, ethical, socio-political, etc. aspects of Stanev's work.

«[Слово] надгробное... Kипріану...» by Gregory Tsamblak: Linguistic and Stylistic Features of the Work

Author(s): Inna Tsaralunga,Inna Pryjmak / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

The article analyzes the linguistic and stylistic features of the work entitled «[Слово] надгробное... Кипріану...» by Gregory Tsamblak, proclaimed by the metropolitan in Kyiv around 1409. The text is characterized by a high level of verbal and artistic skill. The author uses traditional means of depiction, acts as an innovator, applying a whole system of linguistic means: units of the lexical level, artistic tropes (figures of speech): linguistic repetitions, antonyms, epithets, metaphors, comparisons. Through the use of structurally similar words and typical syntactic constructions, the artist achieves the creation of a certain architectonics of the sacred text and its rhythmization. They help to emphasize the closeness of Gregory Tsamblak to his spiritual father Cyprian, to exalt his activities, and to express the depth of the loss of his mentor. The distinctive signs of the ‘word-weaving’ style, revealed in the work, testify not only to its affiliation to the high style of religious writing, but also increased attention to the inner world of man, which corresponds to the ideas of hesychasm of that time.

Мixed English-Bulgarian Inscriptions in Local Public Space

Author(s): Svetlana Atanassova / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

The article focuses on the process of mixing languages (translanguaging) in the public inscriptions of Veliko Turnovo. There are two main principles that presuppose the occurrence of mixed inscriptions and that structure the local landscape – the presentation-of-self principle and the good reasons principle. In this context translanguaged writing reflects the deliberate manipulation of the features of the two languages – English (in its variety as a global language) and Bulgarian (the local code) to produce hybrid language forms that evoke different connotations. The ethnographic analysis is carried out within the theoretical framework of Linguistic Landscaping Studies with a special focus on the indexability of the material world, code preference and feature analysis.
