Циганите и изселванията на „българските турци“ (1948–1989)

Author(s): Plamena Stoyanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2017

“The Gypsies are our own, domestic problem” is a phrase attributed to the long-term former head of the old communist Bulgarian government, Todor Zhivkov. The government policy towards the Gypsy minority in communist Bulgaria is one of inclusion to the Bulgarian way of life, and its implementation is carefully tailored to the specificities of Bulgaria as a country.It is a little known fact that towards the end of the 1940’s, the Bulgarian Gypsies suddenly turn from a “domestic problem” to something much larger and thus become part of the great confrontation between the two world political camps divided by the Iron Curtain. This takes place during the emigration of the ethnic Bulgarian Turks which starts in 1948, and during which, applications for emigration are filed by both Bulgarian Turks and Muslim Bulgarian Gypsies. It is this latter ethnic minority that becomes the cause for a serious conflict between ‘communist Bulgaria’ and ‘capitalist Turkey’.This paper aims at following the events from the end of the 40’s until end of the 80‘s of the previous century as well as analyzing the consequences of the confrontation between the two neighbouring Balkan countries.

Съвместен изследователски проект на ученици, учители и учени от БАН на тема „Тихонравовият дамаскин и историята на българската книжнина и език

Author(s): Borislava Hadzhiyska,Vanya Micheva,Dimitar Apostolov,Simona Simeonova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

The new Bulgarian damascenes are important moment of the development of the literary Bulgarian language. The use of vernacular in the damascenes restores the relation between literary and spoken language and incorporates the living Bulgarian language enriched with literary vocabulary and means of expression. Thus, Bulgarian literature becomes part of the pan-European trend for democratization of written languages. The goal of this paper is to perform a comparative analysis of the 6th commandment from the enlightening speech on the Ten commandments from the Tihonravov damascene with part of the introduction from Slavonic Bulgarian History from Paisius of Hilendar. The analysis aims to track the diverse developments of the literary Bulgarian language. The study is based on comparing morphological and lexical particularities. The results indicate that the language of the Tihonravov damascene comes very close to the vernacular of the period and the present day vernacular, which confirms the hypothesis that the words used in the new Bulgarian damascenes are also the foundation for the new Bulgarian literary language.

Личното име и езика като културни маркери за (само)идентификация на поколението от смесени семейства

Author(s): Desislava Pileva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2017

This research deals with two topics concerning mixed parentage rearing practices in Bulgaria. On the one hand, it is the naming the offspring with regard to the name giver(s) and principles of name-choosing, deriving from parent(s)’ cultural heritage and affected (or not) by the living-in social environment. On the other hand, there is the matter of the non-Bulgarian language acquisition, whose development is a question of micro managing of each of the families (and in many cases of each of the partners). Parents’ decisions, regarding these topics, set the manner in which others look at the mixed offspring, as well as how the children accept themselves as bearers of two cultural backgrounds.

Author(s): Vladimir Ignatov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2018

This article suggests an attempt to analyze some texts from the Bulgarian National Revival Periodic Press that interpret a „marvelous discovery“ - the typography. Its role and significance for the radical changes in cultural and literary communication, but also the resistances against it as something new, unknown and affecting someone‘s interests, are also examined. Through some texts by K. Fotinov, P. R. Slaveikov, N. Kazanakli is defended the concept of the typography as discovering new worlds, removing certain boundaries - spatial, temporal - and facilitating the touch to the foreign experience and its more comprehensive absorption, which are of particular importance in the conditions of the Bulgarian 19th century.
