NAMES FOR WOMEN’S OUTERWEAR IN THE RHODOPE FOLK CLOTHING

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the terminology related to women’s outerwear in the Rhodope folk clothing, excerpted from various ethnographic, regional historical and dialectological studies. The authors analyse the names for women’s outer garments of the saya and sukman type and those for top garments that form a part of festive costumes. They go on to examine ambiguous and synonymous terms, the main word-formation patterns, as well as the etymology of some of the names of foreign and domestic origin. As the authors establish, there is terminological unity in many names for women’s outerwear characteristic of the two confessional groups, on the one hand, and a significant diversity in their varieties, on the other.
