This article explores the use of presemanticised addresses in two Czech novels translated into Bulgarian and two Bulgarian texts translated into Czech. The frequency of use of these forms is studied and compared with the translated equivalents. We also pay attention to the classification of these words into part of speech classes and to various methods for analysing these types of addressing.

This paper examines the intertextual encounters between poetry of a Serbian poet, Vladislav Petković Dis, and French poet, Charles Baudelaire from a thematic and a lexical perspective. What Dis did was to liberate the Serbian poetry of the 20th century from its shackles of tradition and formalism by instilling it with a novel poetic impulse: gruesome pessimism, melancholy, sorrow, transience, pain, disintegration and death. Around the middle of the 19th century, with his volume The Flowers of Evil, Baudelaire had already defined the modern understanding of poetry and beauty as something that springs out of the ugly and the hideous (aesthetics of ugliness). The motif of the spleen being ubiquitous in the poetry of Dis and Baudelaire, we dedicate particular attention to intertextual relations of the spleen’s different manifestations that are based on pessimism and the conversion of poetry into a reflection of a poet's soul. Therefore, the intention of this work is to show the similarities and, above all, the differences between the manifestations of the spleen in the poetry of these two poets.

The present paper discusses the conceptualization of surprise as one of the six primary emotions identified by Ekman, Friesen & Ellsworth (1982: 45) in Modern Greek and Bulgarian phraseology. The purpose of this paper is to study the conceptualization of surprise as illustrated through idiomatic expressions (full phraseme/idiom). By means of comparison, similar and different metaphoric idioms for conceptualizing surprise are first detected. We present the semantic patterning of the idioms and this patterning, in turn, reveals how Greek and Bulgarian people talk about and structure the abstract conceptual domains (Gibbs & Wilson, 2002: 527).

This article presents a Slavonic-Greek glossary of compound lexemes in six Slavic homilies translated from Greek. The copies used date back to the 15th century and come from the following collections of the Rila Monastery: 4/5 and 4/8. The words have been excerpted and compared with those in glossaries based on other medieval Slavonic texts in order to draw conclusions about the translation of the texts and the usage of the compound lexemes. The article also features a Greek-Slavonic dictionary.

The village lies in the southern foothills of the Belasitsa Mountain. At present Goren Poroy is the administrative centre of a several villages of the same type. The refugees waves following the Second Balkan War of 1913, the 1919 Neuilly Convention, and the Mollov-Kafandaris Agreement, have brought some changes in the ethnic composition of the population. Nowadays, for a number of reasons, the people bear Greek names and have a Greek citizenship, which makes it difficult to determine the number of Bulgarians living there. Bulgarian is spoken predominantly by elderly people who, at the same time, make use of the Greek language.

The object of the analysis is the so-called Szczecin episode in its many variants. The episode plays a significant role in interpreting the novel Too Loud a Solitude, the Czech version of which is a source text for a number of foreign translations. As such, the episode creates space for specific translation operations that are possible in some languages (e.g. Polish and German), while impossible in other.
