Размисли за съставните глаголни сказуеми, с първи компонент – форма на безличен глагол

Author(s): Ivan Nedev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2018

The paper deals with some of the boundaries of the Compound Verbal Predicates in Bulgarian language whose first component is expressed by an impersonal verb (the second component can be expressed either by a form of a personal verb, or by a form of an impersonal verb or a personal verb with an impersonal usage). The starting point from which we proceed is that any combination consisting of two verb forms (linked together by the linguistic element да in Bulgarian), the first of which is a form of an impersonal verb, functions in the sentence as a Compound Verbal Predicate in the Bulgarian language. To establish such a Predicate, it is essential to prove that its first component is expressed by a form of an impersonal verb.

Първи принос в българския генеративен синтаксис: Хилмар Валтер

Author(s): Tzvetomira Venkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2017

The text discusses the first application of the Transformational-Generative Grammar (TGG) to Bulgarian language in a 1963 paper by Hilmar Walter. The role of this paper is outlined within the general reception process of TGG from American into Bulgarian linguistic practice by analyzing the factors determining the indirect reception via German mediation. In addition, some main reception features of H. Walter’s paper have been considered, that have played a leading role in Bulgarian reception of generative grammar in general. Special emphasis is laid on the repercussion of the pioneering paper in Bulgarian linguistic circles.

„Думи“ и „слово“ в латинската християнска литература на IV–V в

Author(s): Rosen Milanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

The greatest and most important works of Latin Christian literature date back to IV–V cc. These works are a result of the specific Christian conception of man and the world. In the present paper I explore the attitude of the Christian writers towards the world and its words, towards the verbal communication and the ancient non-Christian literature. The genres and kinds of the Christian literature, as well as its subjects, are also considered. Тhe highest, eternal meaning of the Christian sermon is explained.

Полското рицарство и България в контекста на първия кръстоносен поход („Кръстоносци“ на Зофия Косак)

Author(s): Ivan G. Raychev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

Тhis article comes in connection with the 60th anniversary of the death of Polish writer Zofia Kosak (1899–1968). Нer most famous novel, Krzyїowcy (Crusaders), is mainly related to the First Crusade (1095–1099), but here we focus on an episode of the novel, which is a little deviant from the theme of the First Crusade and refers to another historical context. Thе article deals with the interpretation of Zophia Kosak of an important event of Bulgarian history – the return to Bulgaria after the defeat at the Battle of Belasitsa (1014) of Bulgarian soldiers blinded by the Byzantine emperor Basil II. We try to find the answer to the following questions: How, according to the novel Krzyїowcy, this event blends into the context of the First Crusade; Is there anything in common with the fate of the Bulgarian and Polish warriors in the XI century? Is it possible that the author has created “her own” “Bulgarian folk song”?

„Радост – ти дете от рая ... “ – етос и патос на един популярен текст. Шилеровата поетика в съвременния европейски контекст

Author(s): Ralitsa Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

The focus of the present paper is the EU Directive for accelerated integration of Europe-related topics in the educational process with the aim of building a unified European identity as a prerequisite for the success of Intra-European integration. The counterarguments about this initiative are presented by pointing out ways of its modification in the context of the ‘Doing European’ concept, alternative to European identity. The paper introduces modern literary works in German whose topic is the critical and ironic view of the European identity and the European values system, and which raise the issue of their reconsideration in contemporary European context – the Austrian writer Ulrike Längle’s short story ‘Freude schöner Götterfunken’: a banal reading of Schiller’s aesthetics based on the idea of personal freedom and the inviolability of human dignity, and the German author Ulrike Draesner’s ‘Europa’ depicting the European continent as a jig-saw puzzle whose pieces can be randomly moved and rearranged

Едно литературно приятелство през океана

Author(s): Francisco Javier Juez Galvez / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

Bulgarian writers who settled in Argentina in the 1920s formed friendly and literary connections which continued cross the Оcean. Such is the case of the well-known author Boris Shivachev (1902-1932), “the first Bulgarian Hispanist”, and Stoyan Danev (1901–1981), a far less known publicist in Bulgarian and Spanish and author of stories in Spanish. There is much less information about the latter and his relations with Shivachev than, for example, about Shivachev and Samuil Strezov (1901-1984). By publishing and studying an unknown letter from Danev to Shivachev – from 1928 – and a dedication by Danev from 1931, we prove the regularity of correspondence between the two old friends and the fact that they informed each other about their literary undertakings and life vicissitudes.

VARIA: Колко книги е издал Неофит Бозвели?

Author(s): Elena Nalbantova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2018

Neofit Petrov Hilendarets, also called Bozvely, claimed to have authored eight books. But literary historians researching the literature of the Bulgarian National Revival have only found seven thus far. This paper attempts to present all facts supporting the case for the existence of an eight book by this author, who is one of the founders of the Bulgarian-language clerical Christian literature in the more recent history of the country. Summarizing the presented data, the author expresses her expectation that the still-missing A Brief Interpretation of Liturgy („Краткое тълкование на литургията“) could be found during field research in some of the places of Christian worship in the country

Постбиологичната еволюция в „Премахването на видовете“от Дитмар Дат

Author(s): Branka B. Ognjanović / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2019

The paper gives an insight into the postbiological evolution and the posthuman world in the novel “The Abolition of Species” („Die Abschaffung der Arten“, 2008) by Dietmar Dath. The term postbiological evolution refers to a human-driven evolution that in the novel leads to a world inhabited by human descendants in the form of machines and animals. It analyzes the development of the opposed civilizations of robots (the so-called Keramikaner) and human-animal hybrids (the so-called Gente). The posthuman world they inhabit is a world in which Man is no longer at the center of world history and only lives on thanks to technogenic and genetic modifications. The aim of the paper is to explore the depiction of the altered relationship of the modern humans to their biological and technological environment by analyzing the influence of the theories of postbiological life and posthumanism on the novel.

Да разказваш историята в сегашно време (За глаголното време в евангелските разкази)

Author(s): Pavlin Sabev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

It is a well-known fact that the evangelists (excluding Luke) prefer the Present tense for their stories. Is there any particular grammatical code behind the account of the past which occurs in the Present tense (the Gospels were written at least two to three decades after the events they describe), as most theologians today think? The analyzed examples show the lack of such a code and the influence of oral Semitic speech.

Гръцките книги в библиотеката на Емануил Васкидович

Author(s): Dora Savova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

Studying and deciphering the Greek books in Emmanuel’s Vaskidovich’s library motivate us to rebuild its content. Sorting the titles based on their subject matter and analysing them as prime examples of the European Enlightement thought allows us to appreciate this fascinating library which contains the most important works of the European Enlightement and Ancient Greece. The teaching aids for the study of geography, history, philosophy, grammar and vocabulary that belonged to this important teacher of the Revival demonstrate the high level of education that he was able to give the future generations of Bulgarians, some of whom were the leading figures of the post-liberation period in Bulgaria.

Д-р Кръстев като автор на книги

Author(s): Plamen Antov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

The article examines chronologically all books by the literary critic, aesthetician, philosopher, and editor-inchief of the Misаl Magazine (1892–1907) which was extremely important for the early Bulgarian Modernism. It also analyzes the compositional and structural strategies of those books and, consequently, makes important observations on the mechanisms through which their literary-critical, theoretical and conceptual-historical messages were formulated.

Ляво поколение, дясно поколение. Иван Мешеков и Ернст Юнгер (Предварителни бележки)

Author(s): Vladimir Sabourin / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

This article is an introduction to the comparison between the constituting of the “left-wing generation” of the Bulgarian literary critic Ivan Meshekov (1891–1970) and the “right-wing generation” of the German writer Ernst Jünger (1895–1998) in the frontline experience of World War I. Both authors are emblematic figures of the leftwing and the right-wing intellectual spheres respectively, being, at the same time, black sheep in their own political camp. In the well-grounded existential and conceptual temerity of decisions which led them to a categorical generational binding of the aesthetical with the political, Ivan Meshekov and Ernst Jünger are shown to be brothers in arms in a decesionistic situation of the “lost generation” which seeks and finds itself (or finds death) on the battlefields of World War I.

Проекции на еретизма в „Легенда за Сибин“ на Емилиян Станев

Author(s): Venelin Grudkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

The article aims to establish the importance of a number of heretical and orthodox texts for Emilian Stanev’s novel The Legend of Sibin, Prince of Preslav. The observations lead to the conclusion that the sources and facts are not used verbatim but are subjected to the author’s idea of seeking the answer to the question “What kind of people are we?”

Време-пространствени ориентири в стихосбирката „Смяна на нощната стража“ от Георги Рупчев

Author(s): Trayana Lateva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

The present paper focuses on the second book of poetry by the Bulgarian poet Georgi Rupchev – Change of the Night Guard (1986), and more specifically – on the perception of time and space which construct Rupchev’s poetic world. The text attempts to distinguish between the various manifestations of time and space in order to differentiate a common model of their poetic usage. The analysis also touches on their nature (how specific or abstract they are), their role in the poems, their connection with other themes and motifs in the poet’s work as well as their importance for the composition of the book.

Varia: Старобългарският превод на Псевдозлатоустовото „Слово за Усекновение на Йоан Кръстител“ (BHG 859)

Author(s): Hristina Davidkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

The article proposes an analysis of three copies of the Pseudo-Chrysostomian Homily on the Beheading of St.John the Baptist. The textological, lexical and grammatical characteristics of Slavonic copies under examination,when compared with the Greek text, support the opinion that the homily was translated during the Old-Bulgarian period, in eastern Bulgaria, in the 10th century. The observations on the translation methods testify to its high quality and that the free choice of correlates established at some places often makes the text more accessible to the Slavic audience.

Българският концепт ДОМ на славянски асоциативен фон

Author(s): Maria Ilieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2020

The new research paradigms in linguistics, such as ethno-psycholinguistics, make it possible to analyze in a new way some basic concepts in the linguistic consciousness of a person. The DOM (HOME) concept is discussed on the basis of comparable associative data from three Slavic languages – Bulgarian, Russian and Polish, in order to search for their common areas, and to outline the ethno-specific segment in the Bulgarian notion. We have come to the following conclusions: dynamism in the conceptualization of HOME in recent decades; predominantly abstract conceptualization; close connection between МАЙКА, ЖЕНА (MOTHER, WOMAN) and DOM (HOME) in Bulgarian linguistic consciousness. Lexicographic solutions are offered.
