Colors are present in all areas of our life, even their absence has a meaning, life is black and white or grey without colors. The study reviews colors black, white, blue, red, yellow and grey in the Bulgarian and Hungarian phraseology. Black stands mostly for death, sorrow and darkness. White is the opposite – it symbolizes birth, happiness and light. Blue connotes beating due to the hint a hit causes to our skin. Green means green light – free go – borrowed from the traffic light. Red is the color of health, yellow the color of illness. Grey is linked to economy.

This text analyses two variations on the Danube theme, associated with the colouring of the river: the calm, white Danube and the murky/ black Danube. The focus is on their folk-literary expressions at the time of the Bulgarian Revival period, including the couple of decades that followed it. I test the hypothesis that at different junctures of our culture usage becomes a tool to balance the sheet, to signal crises, or to remind of indigenous values. The function of colour is reminiscent of the river thalweg, it defines borders and connects the lowest points of the stream.

The aim of this paper is to research a specific character of color lexemes realization in A. Mitskevitch poem Pan Tadeusz as a means of expressing value categories (Motherland, God - through the color images of the Niemen river, some forests and home meadows, the sun and the sky, human eyes) particularly meaningful both for the author and for his characters. As a priority the lexemes - the nominators of blue, green, red and white colors in their limited correlation with the lexemes of light are pointed out. The role of these lexemes in constructing axiological fragment of the created by the text world view is determined.

The peoples living in the Balkans significantly have been influencing each other, borrowing numerous cultural and linguistic phenomena. In the course of convergent development it determined the formation of the Balkan cultural and linguistic landscape. The idioms with the meaning of blessing and curse in the Balkan Slavic languages in comparison with the non-Slavic Albanian and Romanian ones are in the centre of the analysis. The correspondences demonstrate a high degree of interlingual and intercultural interaction of the neighboring peoples, although there are significant differences in the forms of the corresponding idioms in different Balkan languages.

The article focuses on the linguistic and stylistic analysis of blue tone colour images in the art system of A. Mickiewicz and the correlation of these colour images with their Russian equivalents. The article determines the paradigm of colour images, explores the semantic gradation of its constituent parts. The symbiosis of organic unity of perceptions of colour and light and the possibility to blend and merge the colour images of different semantic fields make this systematic organization one of the integral parts of A. Mickiewicz’s dynamic and infinite with respect to conveying additional meanings art world view. And hence, it determines its ability to perform a complex set of evaluative functions, transforming the art system into the efficient expressive means of author’s assessments and self-assessments.

The motivation behind this project generated in the classes I attended as an undergraduate student; these classes inspired me to get more closely involved with the poetry of Miltos Sachtouris, on a much deeper level. In the context of the class devoted to “Bulgarian Literature and Cultural Review” (this lesson was taught by Mrs. Stefania Filipova-Metzimeki) in our postgraduate program of the Department of Balcan, Slavic and Oriental Studies“ History, Anthropology and Culture in Eastern and South- eastern Europe” I decided to indulge in the color motive within the poetry of M. Sachtouris, and – comparatively – within the poetry of Kiril Kadiisky. So that I could better understand the latter, I have studied the one and only study I managed to discover, written in French. Yet, it proved to be more than helpful in understanding some quite important meanings in his poetry As for the poetry of M. Sachtouris, the number of the available sources was quite large. Still, I was not interested in recycling the already existing projects.

The current paper outlines the perspectiveness of the goals of stimulating emotional and personally-significant experiences in the context of the effective individualization and differentiation during pedagogical interaction in the kindergarten. It includes presentation on the results of a study involving 127 children aged 3-7 years old in 4 experimental groups (I, II, III, and IV age groups), which prove that individual educational progress has a strong correlation with each child’s well-being, as well as the level of fully-productive involvement of the children in the process of pedagogical interaction.

Every year in Bulgaria there are publicly reported dozens of deaths of women, killed by their partners. It is a problem, broadly discussed in media. At the same time, there is a massive movement in the country against the ratification of the so called Istanbul Convention, a treaty of the Council of Europe against violence against women and domestic violence, (even from the leadership of the self-proclaimed leftist former Communist party). The voices proclaiming the need to preserve the so-called traditional values are also very popular. In this situation, it seems interesting with the help of the methods of Critical discouse analysis (CDA) to investigate the most common linguistic strategies and narratives used by people who downplay or defend violence against women. That is why two case studies are presented in this particular paper – the first one is a thread of posts on Twitter concerning the murder of a woman, who has been found dead at the International day against violence against women (25th November); and the second one is a forum thread of 100 posts that may be found after a piece of news about reported violence against a popular Bulgarian actress, published in the pro-European liberal online media Dnevnik on 4th December 2022.

The paper focuses on the thesis that the goal of the utterance plays a catalytic role in the creation of metaphors in dialogic communication. The author’s intention to get a maximally clear description, clarification, argumentation and ‘transfer’ of the listener’s awareness in the cognitive and emotional field of the speaker leads to the generation of metaphors and metaphorical images approaching the addressee’s apprehension.

The paper addresses the problems of presenting two classic novels, by D. Defoe and H. B. Stowe, during the time of totalitarian rule. Unspecified abbreviations and interferences in the text significantly distort the originals and affect the author's messages. The attention is paid to the influence of the paratexts used to forged the reception to the direction pointed by the Party, including illumination of the characters from different ideological rays. This stage in the critical perception of the works turns out to be especially deconstructive for the Biblical references, themes, images and motifs.
