Slavic Lexis in the Names of Elements of Rhodope Women’s Traditional Clothing

Summary/Abstract: The article reveals old Slavic layers in the Bulgarian names of elements of the Rhodope women’s traditional costume. The research is based on 156 terminological units that prove the existence of numerous equivalents in Slavic languages for the names of women’s outerwear, hairstyles and headscarves, aprons and belts. The largest share of the studied terms comes from the general Slavic lexicon with terminological names or their etymons found in all three groups of Slavic languages. Some of the names used in the Rhodope region, however, appear only in South and East Slavic languages. Several terms have been borrowed into Bulgarian and other Slavic languages from non-Slavic languages. The author concludes that although etymons in the vast majority of the studied terms are common Slavic, there is also a number of lexemes used in the Rhodope region that appear in other Slavic languages with the same morphemic composition.
