Problèmes de la concurrence entre les connecteurs temporels les plus employés en français et en bulgare contemporains
Problems of concurrence between the most used temporal conjunctions in modern French and Bulgarian

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with some problems related to the definition and the analysis of the linguistic mechanisms governing the concurrence between the most frequently used temporal conjunctions in modern French and in modern Bulgarian. In this connection, the contrastive character of the study determines its bipartite composition whose first part examines an interesting question of the syntax of French compound phrase with a temporal subordinate clause, namely the alternation between the most typical temporal conjunctions quand and lorsque, specially in economic and scientific functional style. It is proved that the preference for quand is. generally, a result from the engagement of the speaking subject to processes expressed by the verb of the subordinate temporal clause in opposition to lorsque which prevails when such an engagement is lacking. The second part consideres the concurrence between the most important Bulgarian temporal conjunctions - kogato and kato, as an analogy to the phenomenon studied in French, in spite of the different factors being at its basis.
