A BRIEF HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF THE JOURNAL CONTRASTIVE ANALISYS

Summary/Abstract: The article traces the 35-year-long history of the journal since its foundation in 1976 and outlines its evolution through the years. It presents the main goals pursued by the editorial board, the presence of the journal in bibliographies and reference books, comments about it abroad, special monothematic issues and the rubrics it maintains. Special attention is given to some of the outstanding articles published, memoirs reflecting the human history of Bulgarian linguistics, articles dedicated to anniversaries (300), obituaries (100), and book reviews (1600). The establishment of an international advisory board is noted and the address for access to the journal in the Internet is listed: http//www.slav.unisofia.bg/Pages/contrastive.html. An evaluation is made of the work and achievements of the first two editors-in-chief Prof. Svetomir Ivančev (1976−1991) and Prof. Živko Bojadžiev (1992−2007). The newly published Annotated Bibliography of Contrastive Linguistics (1976–2009) is also presented, which contains 3940 titles dealing with over 50 languages and authored by 750 Bulgarian and 440 foreign linguists. Some of the prospects for future development are also touched upon.
