Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes specificities in the language practice of the famous literary critic Prof. Boris Yotsov. Тhe focus of attention is the domestic layer of words: the presence of archaic vocabulary from the Old Bulgarian period, rare and dialect words, dynamics in the word-forming variance of names; shortening the noun base of words, etc. B. Yotsov's literary criticism exemplifies the linguistic processes in the period between the Two World Wars: the time of accumulation, construction, and creativity, manifesting the tendency to combine the inevitable needs of education with identity politics, striving to establish, enrich and ever codify the academic level of the Bulgarian language.
