Фонетични и морфологични аспекти от идиолекта на поп Минчо Кънчев, отразени в сборника „Видрица“
Phonetic and Morphological Aspects of the Idiolect of Priest Mincho Kanchev, Reflected in „Vidritsa“

Summary/Abstract: The manuscript “Vidritsa. Memories. Notes. Correspondence” (1894 – 1904) has been the subject of several literary, cultural-historical, and ethnographic studies, but linguistic studies of the genre-heterogeneous text are lacking. This motivates the need for an analysis of the rich lexical layers, phraseological units, syntactic construction, phonetic spelling and morphological paradigm used by Father M. Kanchev. The purpose of this publication is to isolate several of the spelling principles characteristic of the writer; to distinguish the phonetic and phonological features that individualize its language; to highlight the normative, dialectal and sociolectal categorical characteristics of the morphological system. The focus is on the features of the Stara Zagora urban speech in the period around the Liberation of Bulgaria. The study is conducted on the original text, contained in a manuscript (fonds 382, archive unit 1, pp. 1 – 1016), which is kept in the National Library “St. Cyril and st. Methodius”. A partial linguistic comparison is being made with the idiolect of another Stara Zagora writer – Hristo Shivarov – author of “Notes on the Stara Zagora’s Uprising” (fonds 141K, op. 1, archival unit 1) from the State Archives – Stara Zagora.
