Към въпроса за универбизацията в българския и чешкия език (от гледна точка на типологичните особености на двата езика)
On the Questions of Univerbation in the Bulgarian and Czech Languages (Considering the Typological Characteristics of Both Languages)

Summary/Abstract: The first part of the paper gives an overview of Bulgarian and Czech research on univerbation outlining the similarities and differences of the applied theoretical and methodological approaches. A conclusion is reached that individual authors in both Bulgarian and Czech linguistics are not in complete agreement about the interpretation of the following: a) content and meaning of the concept/term of univerbation within the language layer itself or taking communication into account; b) methodological basis determining the alignment of word-formation techniques and word-formation means to univerbation; c) criteria based on which particular units (along with the semantic and word-formation types represented by them) are being ranked under univerbates. The second part uses a comparative analysis of Bulgarian and Czech neological material to point out the genetical and structurally-functional characteristics of the members of most actively supplemented groups of univerbates in Bulgarian and Czech. It is shown that in both of languages in question there are significant differences in the productivity of the individual ways of denomination by means of univerbation as well as the relation between the dominating or less frequent types of univerbative denominations. In conclusion, it is demonstrated that the activity of the individual word-formation methods used to transform complex nominal expressions into one-word nominations is tied to the typological features of the two Slavic nominal systems.
