The article is devoted to the topic of the language note as a linguistic genre. The actuality of the problem is motivated by the fact that so many linguistic notes have already been accumulated that they need to be described and structured; they represent the entire topical diversity of the linguistic levels; the texts of the language notes reflect current issues and are aimed at the needs of society. Although short in length, they unfold many problems of the modern Bulgarian language in full, and orient modern language speakers in the dynamics of language development. In the text, an attempt has been made to generally distribute the problems in the topical groups of the language notes: phonetic and speech problems, lexical and word-formation problems, morphological problems, problems of syntax and word order; stylistic inaccuracies, which are subject to comment in the language notes. Peculiarities related to the headings of the language notes in historical and contemporary terms are also commented upon.

The article analyzes the current Bulgarian language curricula in primary and secondary education. A number of problems are pointed out both in the curricula and in the overall process of teaching Bulgarian from the 1st to the 12th grade. Consequently, measures which could significantly improve the quality of the educational process are proposed. The level of the Bulgarian language education at school and in higher education has a leading role in raising the authority of the Bulgarian language, in making the native Bulgarian speakers literate and in preserving the national and the cultural identity of the Bulgarians in the globalizing world.

Explanation, Narration and Lecture as teaching methods are criticized by many authors and students, but the teachers prefer using these methods. The requirements about the characteristics of language and style for effective use of these methods are too high in contemporary context. Comparative analysis of online survey data collected from two groups of students is presented in this article. The students are from Faculty of Education in Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. It is revealed their opinion about the cogency, the easy to understand, the imagery and the emotionality when it is necessary for teachers to use Explanation, Narration and Lecture as teaching methods.

This paper dwells on maritime terminology and the relationships defining “oppositeness of meaning” in it. It briefly retraces some theoretical assumptions in the sphere of antonymy and offers a classification of antonyms from a morphological and semantic point of view. The examples given are excerpted from documented materials standardized and consistent within the area of shipping and discussed and systematized using the lexico-semantic method. The findings in this study can be applicable when teaching English maritime terminology.

F0 is an important cue present in all vocalic segments, a parameter to differentiate between voiced and voiceless consonants, a relative phonological feature of syllable in tonal languages and a crucial feature of intonation. This paper aims to investigate pitch variation patterns in Mandarin Chinese depending on the syllable information load (Factor 1) in one type of discourse – advertising with the subdivision into social and commercial ads (Factor 2) considering gender differences (Factor 3). 1249 syllable tokens were selected for acoustic measurements, each syllable occurring twice – in the informative and uninformative utterance parts. The information load was determined perceptually: the syllable was considered informative when agreed by the minimum of 60% of listeners, other syllables were considered uninformative. Depending on lexical tone (T1 – T4 and T0), the measurements included average pitch values, declination/inclination starting and ending points (mean values). These parameters were used to judge about relevant pitch features – average height and declination/inclination slope. As a result, a consistent parameter increase in commercial ads vs. social ads and on informative syllables vs. uninformative ones was observed for all tones except T0 that showed the opposite trend in expressing information-based partition. Another finding was tone substitution that marked both informative and uninformative parts but was more frequent in the latter. Substitute tone frequency ranks did not depend on any of the three factors except for T0. High predictability of pitch variation patterns make them applicable in teaching Chinese as L2 in terms of speaking and listening for general and specific purposes.

The article is dedicated to an understudied issue in Bulgarian dialectology, namely the names of the months in different Bulgarian dialects. Some specific names of the spring months of March, April and May are examined, tracing the specific marks and processes characteristic of the daily life of the dialect speaker, which lie as a motivating base in the meaning of the words. It is clear from the research that most of the names of the spring months are characteristic of the entire linguistic territory, but there are also some more specific names that reflect activities specific to the calendar time and to the daily life of the dialect speaker. Such phenomena, holidays and various domestic and economic processes are associated with a reference to the women's holiday in the month of March and the changeable weather; with the greening of nature, with the Easter holidays and with the shearing of the sheep in the month of April; with St. George's Day, with the digging of corn and with the first cherries - in the month of May. Keywords dialect vocabulary, names of the spring months in the dialects, lexical wealth of the Bulgarian dialects.

The last two years saw a dramatic increase in the use of digital classrooms due to the new pandemic realities. Internet platforms and social networks offer teachers many options for interacting with their students and colleagues. Online communication differs from face-to-face communication in many aspects and for linguadidactic purposes should be reconsidered from a sociolinguistic point of view. The aim of the study is to explore sociolinguistic aspects of teachers’ nature in online intercultural communication. The study relies on a questionnaire and interviews to collect data about students’ level of sociolinguistic awareness, their ideas about professional online interaction, and their views on sociolinguistic difficulties. The research provides a comparative analysis of the sociolinguistic competence status in Russian and European methodology. The paper introduces the list of internal and external features that influence interlocutors’ sociolinguistic behavior during intercultural communication online. The results suggest that there are a lot of digital factors that determine the communication outcome. The term “sociolinguistic credo” and its definition are presented. It is admitted that external and internal peculiarities should be taken into account in order to train future foreign language teachers effectively. There should be equality of cultures, especially on the Internet where it is easy to lose all cultures behind avatars.

The author discusses the emergence and meaning of ideas as a goal and destination of any empirical quantity, and as bearers of ontological completeness. The theses of various philosophers who have considered the idea as a concept are shown. A transition is made to the understanding of the term today, as well as to the attempts for using the ideal for the purposes of various contemporary ideologies. The way in which the ideal has been represented in music and the visual arts is indicated.

The article puts the spotlight on those specific genres in which the author returns to the process of writing of his works, creating a kind of “bioliterature”. Seemingly seeking for the biographical projections of creativity, in fact the author turns the writing itself into intrigue. In the form of essays, interviews, commentaries, and other “epitexts” (Genette), the author blurs the boundary that connects and separates the text on the one hand and its interpretations on the other. Thereby, he takes the work out of its fictional world and gives it performativity, assigning it a role in the real life. Thus, while speaking and writing about his works, the author draws his self-portrait as well. This conscious and purposeful authorial representation shows the way the author sees himself, his work, but it also hints the care for the image he wants to leave for posterity.

The paper discusses the following expression used in the region of Samokov: “The arm of the Church is Virgin Mary/ St. George or another saint” that means that this church is dedicated to Virgin Mary/ St. George, etc. and its local feast is at the respective date. The author looks for the sources of such expressions and puts forward the hypothesis that they stem from the anthropological view of the Orthodox Christians living in this region towards the church and church temples: they are perceived as and designated with the human body members: Christ is the head of the church, while its arms are the saints.

L’article examine la représentation et la valorisation de la féminité dans le corpus formé par cinq bestiaires français traditionnels du XIIe et du XIIIe siècle : le Bestiaire de Philippe de Thaon, le Bestiaire de Gervaise, Le Bestiaire divin de Guillaume de Normandie, le Bestiaire de Pierre de Beauvais et le Bestiaire du pseudo-Pierre de Beauvais. Notre analyse démontre que les figures féminines (humaines et animales) sont représentées dans le corpus conformément avec l’idéologie de cette époque, notamment avec la valorisation des sexes dans le Moyen Âge, héritée de la culture judéo-chrétienne et de l’antiquité grecque et latine.
