Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to examine the degree of grammaticalisation of have-perfects in Bul-garian in the context of language contact, focusing on their prevalence in the Balkans and in Europe more widely. Attempts are made to trace the spread of have-perfects from west to east based on authentic language data.
