Антонимията в старобългарски език
Antonymy in Old Bulgarian

(On the Basis of Material from the Old Testament Books of the Prophets in MS F.I. 461 from the Russian National Library in Saint Petersburg)

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses antonymy in Old Bulgarian as a paradigmic relationship from several viewpoints: 1) word-formation of semantic opponents in Old Bulgarian (opponents that are in the relationship "original word vs derivated word"); 2) the relationships "antonymy vs synonymy" and "antonymy vs polysemy"; 3) the interesting phenomenon of enantiosemy; 4) how the relationship between the words of the original text should be rendered in the translation; 5) opposition in so-called antonymic contexts with a classification of these contexts on the basis of different features (the syntactic relationship between the opponents, the function in the sentence, morphological classification).
