Концептът разкаяли се блудници в историята на българския книжовен език
The Concept of the Penitent Harlots in the History of the Bulgarian Literary Language

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores the linguistic and semantic realisations of the cultural concept of the penitent harlot. The author offers an analysis of linguistic data excerpted from classical Old Bulgarian manuscripts and other original works from the 9th –11th century, as well as from the lives of women saints in the Bdin Collection from the 14th century. The phrases and sentences that represent the concept of the penitent harlot and their distribution in different cultural contexts are studied in relation to the Christian idea that, as God is merciful, every sinner can be saved through repentance.
