Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses the substandard language used by Gheorghi Gospodinov in his novel A natural novel. His book can be approached as a mixtum compositum, a puzzle formed of various short stories. The writer carefully uses regional or demotic phrases, nicknames, and skips paragraphs in order to create a timely and postmodern text.
