Особености при представянето на терминологичните единици в многотомния академичен Речник на българския език

Author(s): Sia Kolkovska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2024

The article discusses the characteristics of the description of terminological units in the Dictionary of the Bulgarian Language. An important feature of the Dictionary is that it covers not only terms but also terminological lexis (verbs and adjectives). The Diction-ary contains various kinds of information about terminological units as determined by the lexicographic parameters specific to its microstructure, in a way that distinguishes their description from the one adopted in terminological dictionaries. The dictionary entries provide information about the grammatical features of terminological units, the antonyms of some terms, the origin of borrowed terms, among others.

Nomina loci с наставка -ниц(а) в българския език (продуктивна в миналото и днес)

Author(s): Diana K. Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2024

Place names (nomina loci) in Bulgarian represent a very interesting research subject both in a diachronic and synchronic perspective. The word-formation type of the nouns derived by attaching the ending -ниц(а) or the extended suffixes -арниц(а), -ачниц(а), -илниц(а), -джийниц(а)/-чийниц(а) to designate the places where the activity or occupation denoted by the motivating verb is performed or exercised (or the places/homes where the entities denoted by the motivating noun are stored), is represented by a significant number of substantives. This group of derivatives clearly reflects the dynamics of the language as observed in the transition of words from the active to the passive lexical layer, the revival of lexical items belonging to the passive lexis, the emergence of neologisms following the established derivational patterns, the development of neosemantics, the proprialisation resulting in the formation of firmonyms. A recent phenomenon attested in the language has been the incorporation of nomina loci into the internet space: without actually existing, these places perform similar functions to their physical counterparts. The suffixes under discussion are used in the derivation of both simple and compound substantives. The empirical material confirms the productivity of the ending -ниц(а) in contemporary Bulgarian.

Из историята на създаването в Полша на Съвременен българско-полски речник

Author(s): Joanna Satoła-Staśkowiak / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2024

The rapid development of the Bulgarian and Polish lexis after 2000 and the lack of up-to-date Bulgarian-Polish dictionaries at that time inspired Joanna Satoła-Staśkowiak and Violetta Koseska-Toszewa to embark on the compilation of a Bulgarian-Polish dictionary that would reflect the trends and phenomena observed in the contemporary language. In preparing the lexical material, the two researchers used electronic language corpora developed by teams of which they were a part. Drawing on their previous experience in comparative (including semantic) studies of Bulgarian and Polish, the authors focused on creating an entirely new dictionary based on an original methodology of lexicographic description. In the process of compiling the dictionary entries, various issues related to the differentiation of lexical units and their grammatical and semantic characteristics had to be solved. The first volume of the Contemporary Bulgarian-Polish Dictionary was published at the end of 2014. This is the second major Bulgarian-Polish dictionary to be printed in Poland. It comes 51 years after the publication of the first bilingual Bulgarian-Polish dictionary by Franciszek Sławski in 1963. The last edition of Sławski’s dictionary (co-authored by Sabina Radeva) titled A Supplemented Handy Bulgarian-Polish Diction-ary was published in 1987, and much of the material in it is now outdated. The Contemporary Bulgarian-Polish Dictionary by J. Satoła-Staśkowiak and V. Koseska-Toszewa is intended for lecturers, Slavicists and students of Bulgarian or Polish as a foreign language, as well as for a wider readership interested in these languages. The article outlines the main qualities of this lexicographic work, discussing its history and methodological foundations and the approach adopted to the representation of contemporary vocabulary.

Лексикографски параметри на двуезичен речник

Author(s): Nadezhda Kostova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2024

In the article I address some issues of the construction of a bilingual dictionary. I examine the lexicographic problems and solutions with respect to the macro- and microstructure of such a dictionary and comment on the lexicographic parameters of a specific one, the Bulgarian-Croatian dictionary. The conceptual framework adopted in the crafting of each dictionary specifies the main lexicographic parameters and the ways in which they are implemented. In conclusion, I provide a systematic account of the interaction among the parameters of a bilingual dictionary.

THE BOOK AS A BANDWIDTH OF RESONANCE IN OVID'S "TRISTIA"

Author(s): Dana Sala / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Relegated from Rome to Tomis around 8 A.D., after a sea-voyage which lasted months, forced to give up the circle of high life where he used to be so admired and cherished, Ovid found himself in the land of dissonance. The sources of his dissonance were: the perceived reception of his own poetry, the nature of harsher climate, the life-threatening attacks of the Barbarians and his own fears of illness. Ovid needed a "bandwidth" of communication and resonance and he found it in books, both as objects and as a legacy. The book (liber/libri) was free (‘liber’) to travel to Rome in his place and to receive all the valences of a compensatory myth. Moreover, book (in its ancient form of ”volumen”) retrieves in “Tristia” the vocabulary of resonating with other people. Books, his own and of other writers, are the mysterious path to a much needed reconciliation with Tomitan people.

THE MECHANISMS OF PROPAGANDA AND THE FORMS OF DESPOTISM

Author(s): Florin Cioban / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Professor Habil. Nagy Levente has been recently awarded membership in the Hungarian Academy. One of his latest researches is published in his book called ‘The King, the Despot, and the Propaganda’, at the Foundation of Observation of Literature in Budapest. It makes us think about the Romanian history of the 20th century, but it is, in fact, a book regarding the common Romanian and Hungarian history of the 15th century.

Прозодични аспекти на произношението на украински студенти, изучаващи български език като чужд

Author(s): Mirena Patseva,Elena Runevska / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2024

The work represents an attempt to take a step in the direction of building a connection between scientific developments in the field of instrumental phonetics and the teaching of Bulgarian as a foreign language. Technological studies point to problem areas of the pronunciation of the Bulgarian language by speakers of closely related languages such as Ukrainian. As an object of attention and corrective work, we noted some segmental deviations in the articulation of (е, ə, о, tʃ , t), slow pace of speech and articulation, fluency disorders, positional accent deviations and those in accent realization (indiscernible difference in the acoustic ques of stressed and unstressed units) and inconsistent reduction. We believe that audio and visual demonstrations have a place in teaching pronunciation in Bulgarian as a foreign language. A „translation“ of the specialized terminology of linguistics and illustrative materials are needed, which serve not only for illustration, but also as material for one‘s own production in comparison with that of native speakers.

Адаптирани и преводни текстове за нуждите на обучението по български език като чужд

Author(s): Reni Manova,Katrin Kostova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2024

When talking about the role of the text in foreign language learning, an important differentiation should be made between an authentic, adapted text for educational purposes, and a completely invented text. The adapted text goes through a variety of steps such as shortening, selecting parts, simplifying, co-contextualizing (giving learners the opportunity to activate the cognitive scheme through the use of pictures, illustrations, photographs accompanying the text body), creating a phrasebook. An essential element of foreign language training is working with texts for translation. Translation is not just transferring words and sentences from one language to another. Transmission is from one culture to another. Culture is very clearly manifested in the linguistic picture of the world. Translation aims to achieve effective intercultural communication. The article describes practical observations from the work with adapted and translated texts during the Bulgarian language classes for foreign students from the Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”.

BAC, U KRY! Space, Albanian Commemoration and the Gheg Variety as a Linguistic Symbol of State Independence in Postwar Kosovo

Author(s): Uranela Demaj,Aida Alla / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2023

This paper investigates the reconstruction of Albanian identity in Kosovo after the region’s transformation to state independence in 2008. The cultural environment emerged as a site of ethnic appropriation and contestation in the longstanding interethnic struggles between the Albanians and the Serbs. The study examines the socio-symbolic and linguistic manifestations of national identity in Pristina, the capital city of Kosovo, through the lens of Linguistic Landscape Studies. The first aspect of the study investigates M. Theresa Boulevard, the central promenade of the city and a site of memory and commemoration, to highlight how the period of South Slavic hegemony in Kosovo and the recent interethnic war resulted in a redefinition of Albanian identity. The second aspect of the study focuses on the written manifestation of the Gheg variety of Albanian as a symbol of Kosovo’s independence. Through this dual focus on memory and language, the study aims to arrive at an understanding of how new national and political self-identifications are shaped in contexts that have undergone ethno-political conflicts and socio-political shifts. We argue that the symbolic configuration of Kosovo suggests a redefinition of Kosovo-based Albanian identity following the transformation to state independence. The study contributes to an understanding of the multi-layered redefinition of Albanian identity in Kosovo, calling attention to language and memory in the process of constructing national identities in postwar contexts.

Вокални жестове и междуметия като част от речевия портрет на персонажите в български анимационни филми

Author(s): Krasimira Petrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: Special/2024

Initial ideas for a multi-aspect analysis of vocal gestures (as an indication of a physiological reaction) and interjections (as linguistic signs) in the Bulgarian language on material from Bulgarian cartoons (The Three Fools by D. Donev) are presented. Intonational layout, gestural accompaniment, context and situational conditioning help to identify the meaning and disambiguate vocal gestures. Cartoons are used as an analogue of the multimodal Russian corpus as a source of illustrative examples. E. I. Grishina's methodology for describing vocal gestures in the Russian language and the possibilities of its application for the analysis of similar units in Bulgarian cartoons are examined. A classification of verbal gestures is presented, consisting of three groups: 1) exclamations, 2) interjections, 3) particles. Examples from cartoons can be used as illustrative material. They have a significant hitherto unused research, scientific-applied, linguistic didactic potential.

Руско-българските паралели при превода на лексиката със значението ‘разделяне’ (върху материалите на паралелния двуезичен корпус)

Author(s): Irina Aleksandrovna Sedakova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: Special/2024

The paper aims to verify the results of the author’s previous studies of the semantics, semiotics and usage of the lexis denoting ‘separation’ in Russian and Bulgarian languages on the materials of the parallel corpus. The analysis confirms that the most frequent equivalent pair is the Russian lexis, originating from sta- and the Bulgarian lexis from děl-. The words depicting the semiotics of separation and being apart (verbs of motion, of physical splitting, lack of sight contact, etc.) in the target language and the original language are characterized. The specific of the Bulgarian and Russian etiquette formulae as they appear in the corpus are outlined.

Фонологични процеси в усвояването на плавните съгласни р и л от деца, овладяващи славянски езици (по данни на проф. д-р Иван Георгов и съвременни данни)

Author(s): Yuliana Stoyanova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: Special/2024

The report is devoted to phonological processes in the acquisition of liquid consonants r and l in early childhood (up to 3 years) by children learning Slavic languages. The starting point of this research is a publication by Prof. Dr. Ivan Georgov from the beginning of the last century (1913). The thesis of the Bulgarian researcher was that up to the age of three, children mastering Slavic languages regularly replace r with l in certain phonological positions due to their similar place of articulation (both are alveolar, differing only in the manner of articulation: r is vibrant, whereas l is lateral). The report com-pares Georgov's Bulgarian data with contemporary empirical material: contemporary Bulgarian data excerpted from author’s own corpus as well as Polish and Russian data taken from the CHILDES international database). The results point to two main strategies in the acquisition of the vibrant consonant r by children speaking the three Slavic languages: First, a dominant substitution of r with l. This strategy was followed by the Polish children (thus emphasizing the relevance of the conclusions made by Georgov more than a century ago). Second, dominant elision of р (r) along with limited cases of substitution by means of л (l) and (or) й (y). This strategy was followed by the Bulgarian children from the author’s contemporary corpus and by the Russian subject. The differences in the two strategies are explained in the light of the changes in our language over the last decades.

За употребата на знаци за съгласна /j/ и палатализираност при предаването на шведски имена на български език: предписания и фактически тенденции в преводаческата практика

Author(s): Vladimir Naydenov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: Special/2024

The article examines the variation in the use of graphical designations of the consonant /j/ and palatalisation (<й>, <ь>, <ю> и <я>) in transcriptions of Swedish names into Bulgarian, on the one hand, according to prescriptions published since the 1970s for Swedish (by I. Duridanov in 1974, P. Stoyanov in 1982, and Ordinance No. 6 of 12 June 1995) and for foreign languages in general (by L. Andreychin in 1974, Grammar of the Modern Bulgarian Literary Language in 1983, and the Official Orthographic Dictionary of the Bulgarian Language in 2012), and on the other – in actual translators’ practice as observed in examined publications from the late 1960s to the present day. The variation encompasses, above all, the rendition of: 1. the allophones [ʉ̟ː] and [ɵ] of the Swedish phoneme /ʉ/; 2. the Swedish phonemes /y/ and /ø/, above all in positions after consonants transcribed into Bulgarian with <ш> and <ч>; 3. the Swedish consonant /ʝ/ after another consonant, especially before a consonant transcribed with <е>, word-finally and initially in a non-first member of a compound; 4. sequences of a vow-el rendered with <и> or <е> and a vowel rendered with <а>. In spite of significant vacillations and inconsistencies the predominating approaches to case 1 and 2 are the ones recommended by P. Stoyanov and Ordinance No. 6. With respect to word-final /ʝ/ observance of the prescription found in Ordinance No. 6 becomes more common in the 2010s, but remains less usual than the traditional rendition recommended by I. Duridanov. With respect to case 3 and 4 the variation remains significant.
