Summary/Abstract: Despite the fact that Macedonian standard language was codified already a half century ago and since then works as a modern stylistically developed standard language Bulgarian linguistics still denies its existence. The author of the article analyses reasons which Bulgarian linguistics uses as arguments against the existence of Macedonian standard language. His conclusions are that Bulgarian linguistics methodologically doesn’t clearly differ between the history of language in its genetically-linguistic sense from the sociolinguistic sense.
