Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the challenges that can be encountered in the English learning classroom in terms of the application of the language resource of substitution. Here our focus is only on the use of the nominal substitute “the same”. The latter presupposes an entire nominal group including any modifying element. The item discussed is presented by examples which are translated into Bulgarian and analyzed in terms of the projected items that appear in place of “the same”. In Bulgarian it is commonly illustrated by pronominalzation and sometimes by synonimization which might be challenging for English language learners.
