АБСОЛЮТНАТА ПРЕВЪЗХОДНА СТЕПЕН ЗА СРАВНЕНИЕ В БЪЛГАРСКИЯ СЛЕНГ В ИНТЕРНЕТ (ПО МАТЕРИАЛИ ОТ ФОРУМА teenproblem.net)
THE ABSOLUTE SUPERLATIVE DEGREE OF COMPARISON IN BULGARIAN SLANG IN INTERNET (BASED ON MATERIALS DERIVED FROM THE FORUM teenproblem.net)

Summary/Abstract: The article examines one feature of Bulgarian slang in internet – the presence of an absolute superlative degree of comparison, called absolute superlative or elative. It shows ownership of a given quality at the highest level and it is about to occupy fourth place in the paradigm (over positive, comparative and superlative). The new forms are exclusive and emotional, because for young people the expressive function is more important than the communicative. The frequent use of these new structures in informal communication causes their increased presence in media and advertising, which also relies on originality and expressiveness of speech.
