Bulgarian Speech. Journal of Linguistics and Language Culture

Българска реч. Списание за езикознание и езикова култура

Frequency: irregular and other / Country: Bulgaria

"Bulgarian Speech. Journal of Linguistics and Language Culture" is publication of the Department of Slavic Studies, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” in collaboration with Prof. Maxim Mladenov Foundation. The idea of issuing a popular science journal of language culture, which has been carefully thought over for a long time, is related to the work on developing and enhancing Bulgarian language culture and correct use. With its very title the journal carries on to a certain degree the patriotic work of the eminent Bulgarian linguists St. Mladenov, A. T.-Balan and B. Tsonev. These linguists together with St. Argirov started publishing Bulgarian Speech Journal in 1912, whose task was to “guide towards orderly and correct speech”. Unfortunately the journal was published for one year only. Without being a direct successor of the aforesaid journal, the first issue of Bulgarian Speech Journal came into being in 1995. The journal is governed by the idea that taking care of enhancing language culture cannot be a campaign issue. It needs to have a permanent nature and to become an obligation of educationalists, teachers and professors and any eminent figures in the area of culture and education. In line with the concept and tasks of the journal, the publication is divided into separate headings (or sections), which guide readers and authors through the subject matter of the published research. The journal highlights particularly research on the relation between language and speech for which the following headings/sections have been introduced: Language and Style, Language and Rules, Language Culture and Education, Bulgarian Vocabulary, etc. The idea to present the connection between language and the history and culture of its speakers (users) is reflected in the headings: Language and Society, Ethnic Culture and Speech, From the History of Bulgarian Language, Bulgarian Language and its Dialects. The publications in Prominent Names in Bulgarian Science and Culture focus on the tradition and historiography of Bulgarian linguistics, which provide information on anniversaries of Bulgarian and foreign scholars, who have contributed to the development of Bulgarian linguistics. Anniversary publications dedicated to honored Bulgarian linguists highlight their special contributions to Bulgarian linguistics. Bulgarian Speech Journal reports periodically on scientific events and publishes reviews and annotations of newly published linguistics works. The journal is published three times per year. Since 2010 an editorial board has been established, whose members are esteemed foreign specialists in Bulgarian linguistics. They have a strong interest in the journal and collaborate on its publication.

The Literature

Литературата

Frequency: 2 issues / Country: Bulgaria

The Literaturata (Literature) journal was set up in the 1990s by the so-called Vazov Society within the Department of Slavic Studies of Sofia University. Its founders were the corresponding member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Milena Tsaneva and Professor Simeon Yanev. Back then nearly 20 issues were released, their contents organized primarily around some of the major schools of literary theory. The translations took precedence, but Bulgarian texts illustrating the approach of the school in question were also carried out. After a hiatus of several years the journal resumed its run in 2007. It had by then become the official publication of the Department of Slavic Studies of Sofia University, but kept the tradition of having each issue organized around a more specific topic, such as globalization, writing and the Internet, ideologies, the policies of otherness, reading, the media, the teaching of literature in schools, etc. The proportion of translated texts has been preserved in the new editions, but the number of languages from which they are being made has been increased. Thus, readers are made familiar with works not only from English, French and German, but also from Italian, Spanish, Greek and Portuguese. The number of Bulgarian entries on the topic of each issue has also been expanded. Two new sections have been introduced of late: the “Debuts” section carrying texts by undergraduate and graduate students, and the “Reviews” section featuring the latest books in humanitarian studies. The journal is pronouncedly interdisciplinary in nature and solicits contributions from scholars from all Bulgarian universities and the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The Literaturata journal is being published by the Department of Slavic Studies of Sofia University and is being printed at the University’s own Publishing House. Its editor-in-chief is Professor Valery Stefanov, D. Philology, and the editorial board includes also Professor Amelia Licheva, PhD, Associate Professor Ivan Ivanov, PhD, Associate Professor Petya Osenova, PhD, and Senior Assistant Professor Noemi Stoichkova, PhD. The Faculty of Slavic Studies was established in 1888, with the foundation of the Higher Pedagogical Courses and the introduction of philological courses. The next year Slavic Philology was studied as a Major at the newly founded Faculty of History and Philology. Until 1946 the main degree programmes were in Bulgarian and Russian Philology. The first degree course in Slavic Studies was introduced in 1953. History and Slavic Studies became separate faculties in 1950. Since 1965 there have been two separate philological faculties at Sofia University – the Faculty of Slavic Studies and the Faculty of Classical and Modern Philology. In 1997 a new curriculum was introduced at the Faculty of Slavic Studies, to meet the requirements for acquiring Bachelor's and Master's of Art degrees. Slavic Philology and Balkan Studies offers five-year course of tuition, which leads to a Master's of Art degree . In 2003 a new syllabus complying with ESTF was introduced and actualized for all subjects at the faculty. Over 120 year-long history of the Faculty of Slavic Studies generations of students and scholars have kept, handed down and created the knowledge about Bulgarian people, language, literature and culture.
