Произход на български диалектни думи (принос към българската диалектна етимология и „Българския етимологичен речник“)

Author(s): Hristina Deykova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The paper applies a systematic approach to the etymologization of Bulgarian dialect words of Turkish origin. The object of analysis are Turkish loanwords with initial a- from the Dictionary of an archaic Rhodope dialect – the dialect of Ropkata, published in 2022. Specific phonetic changes are described, whose regularity in the dialect helps to find other dialectal variants of the words under consideration and to identify the Turkish primary source. The analyzed words are not included in Volume I of the Bulgarian Etymological Dictionary, and the majority of them are not reflected in the corresponding entries of the Dictionary of Turkisms in Bulgarian, so they are related to the respective etymological word families for the first time. Clarifications, additions and corrections are made to some of the existing etymologies or a new etymological interpretation is proposed. Emphasis is placed on the variation of the borrowed dialect lexis, which is of great importance for discovering the foreign language etymon.

Контекстова зависимост на граматическите категории в съвременния български език

Author(s): Krasimira Aleksova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The present work examines the influence of the context and/or the situation on the realization of noun and verb categories in modern Bulgarian. These cases are considered as contextual restriction, implementation of a blocking strategy, or as syntagmatic neutralization of a feature or features on which a given grammatical category is based. Cases of context restriction are presented for the noun categories number and indefiniteness/definiteness and for the verb categories number, aspect, tense, mood, evidentiality, and presumptiveness. The research proves that it is not possible to restrict the categories of person, gender and status (positive - negative verb forms).

Ефектът на пола и възрастта върху темпа на четена българска реч

Author(s): Bistra Andreeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The present study investigates the effect of sex and age on the temporal characteristics of read Bulgarian speech, as well as the impact of different methods of measuring speaking rate. The analysed material is continuous read speech from the multilingual speech database BABEL. Three cognitively linked short passages containing 5thematically related sentences were read by 60 speakers (30 male and 30 female). The total length of the analysed material is 70.14 minutes. The results of the statistical analysis, carried out using linear mixed models (LMM),show that speaking rate decreases with age for both sexes, with men speaking faster than women. No significant differences were found in the proportion of pauses. The study provides reference data on speech rate, articulation rate, and pausation in read Bulgarian speech, thus establishing a foundation for future comparisons and analyses.

Лексикализация на устойчивите изрази с неопределителна семантика от типа „не знам (си) кой (си)“

Author(s): Laska Laskova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the structure and distribution of Bulgarian indefinite multiword expressions following the pattern ne znam (si) k-word (si) (NEG know.1SG.PRS (REFL) k-word (REFL)). The syntactic behavior of each member of the series is illustrated with numerous examples from Internet discourse.While it is possible for an adverb or even a preposition to occur within the complex, these expressions fill in positions available to pronouns, not to clauses, and denote specific non-identifiable referents. Therefore, ne znam (si) k-word(si) expressions should be categorized as compound indefinites.

За една българско-полска фразеологична успоредица

Author(s): Diana Blagoeva,Joanna Satoła-Staśkowiak / Language(s): Bulgarian,Polish Publication Year: 0

The article examines the history and usage of a specific type of phraseological units with a component гарван, врана / kruk, wrona (‘raven’, ‘crow’) in Bulgarian and Polish. These phraseological units have a common origin related to the ancient cultural heritage of European nations and initially share a close meaning. However, their development in the two languages takes different paths, leading to the emergence of interlinguistic asymmetry. The conducted research demonstrates that interlinguistic equivalence relationships in phraseology are dynamic and can change over time depending on the characteristics of intra-linguistic developmental processes.

Псевдопосесивни конструкции (у + родителен падеж) в руския език и техните български паралели.

Author(s): Galina Ivanovna Kustova ,Elena Yu. Ivanova / Language(s): Bulgarian,Russian Publication Year: 0

The paper discusses different types of situations in which the possessive group u + genitive is used to encode the subject. In Russian, such a group can be a marker of a wide range of subjects, including possessor (У него две собаки ‘He has two dogs’); experiencer subject of internal states (У меня было чувство/подозрение, что Р ‘I had a feeling/suspicion’), subject of involvement (У нас пожар ‘At our place we have a fire’; У него обыск ‘They conduct a search at his place’; У меня чайник перегорел ‘My kettle got burnt’), agent referent in situations with suppressed or lost control (У меня встреча ‘I have a meeting’; У меня мотор не заводится ‘My motor does not start’). Due to the coding of the subject by the u-group, all such situations receive a pseudo-possessive conceptualization. The Bulgarian correspondences to these Russian constructions have been analysed on the material from the parallel corpus.

Фразеологична еквивалентност (въз основа на български и хърватски фразеологизми)

Author(s): Ana Vasung / Language(s): Bulgarian,Croatian Publication Year: 0

As one of the key questions of contrastive phraseology, the question of equivalence arises, i.e. the coincidence of idioms in two or more languages. The present text develops already existing typologies of cross-linguistic phraseological equivalence on the basis of Bulgarian and Croatian phraseology. Structural-semantic equivalences, partially structural equivalences with matching semantics, semantic equivalences, and also null equivalence are defined. The criteria for determining the type of equivalence are: structural, semantic, motivational (background aspect), stylistic and use criteria.

The category of evaluation and its representation in contemporary Ukrainian internet discourse

Author(s): Olena Voytseva,Daria Kryvenchenko / Language(s): Ukrainian Publication Year: 0

The paper provides an analysis of the evaluative potential of verbal and non-verbal means within the category of evaluation in contemporary Ukrainian internet discourse. These linguistic tools are employed to exert linguistic influence on the audience. Rational and emotional evaluation is integral to the lexical meaning of words,phrases, and sentences, reflecting a positive or negative attitude towards the respective subjects, facts, and events in the surrounding world. The implementation of evaluation at the lexical level is manifested in archaic lexical units with a touch of formality (безсмертя, героїзм), in expressively colored vocabulary (slang, colloquialisms, vulgarisms, abusive words) (запроданець, визискувач), and in neologisms. Maximum influence on the consciousness and behavior of the addressee is achieved through the metaphorical use of words, as secondary nominations impart imagery, expressiveness, emotional content, and originality to texts, attracting the attention of readers. The implication of the author’s subjective evaluation with the aim of shaping a particular attitude towards events and presented information is realized within the specific mass media context through the use of vocabulary which names precedent phenomena, and other linguistic means.

Towards detailed semantic classes of nouns

Author(s): Svetla Koeva / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The primary objective of the study is to present an approach for effectively classifying noun classes, facilitating the specification of syntagmatic combinations between verbs and nouns. It offers a concise overview of the semantic classifications of nouns in WordNet, Corpus Pattern Analysis, and FrameNet from the perspective of verb-noun compatibility. Mapping the appropriate WordNet synsets with the semantic types of Corpus Pattern Analysis, FrameNet and with the selective preferences of Verb Atlas allows the creation of an Extended Ontology of Noun Semantic Classes. The contribution of this development lies in detailing the steps for selecting an appropriate set of semantic classes whose members are suitable for the syntactic realisation of certain frame elements.
