Summary/Abstract: The article offers an overview of the future tense constructions – formed with the possessive verb имѣти and volitive verbs хотѣти and щѫ, from which the analytical forms for the future tense in modern Bulgarian literary language develop. The focus is on the Middle Bulgarian and early Modern Bulgarian period when the volitive model displaces the possessive one. The analysis is based on quantitative data from texts dated between the 14th and 17th centuries, that are part of publicly available free corpora.
