Gedanken und Beobachtungen zu den griechischen Lehnwörtern in der bulgarischen Literatursprache
Thoughts and observations on the Greek loanwords in the Bulgarian literary language

Summary/Abstract: The article deals on the Greek loan words in the Bulgarian standard language.The main target of the article is to show in which fields of life the use of the Greek loanwords is dominating and in which not. We excepted the loan words in the Bulgarian dialects,because the situation is too different from that in the standard language, and also the loanwords, which came by Greek mediation into the Bulgarian language. So we found out, that only ten percent of the Greek loan words are common for all Bulgarian dialects.The existence of the Greek loan words is only to compare with the Turkish loan words.The comparison of both groups shows, that the influence of the greek group is quite different from that of the Turkish. The Greek language took the longest influence on the Bulgarian,however there are lots of Greek words, which are not genuine Greek.
