Етнолигвистични особености на средновековни славянски молитви
Ethnolinguistic features of medieval Slavic prayers

Summary/Abstract: A plethora of medieval Slavic prayers deal with the destruction and expulsion of evil. This study proposes an analysis of one Great Moravian prayer and five Bulgarian apocryphal prayers. They include texts in which the demonic forces are embodied as witches, devils, demons, evil spells. Evil forces are opposed by sacred forces such as God, angels, the Holy Mother of God and others. The ethnolinguistic approach employed in the study helps in the comprehensive exploration of the living bond between traditional culture and medieval models.
