Изразните средства на исихастката апофатичност като отражение на древни мисловни модели

Author(s): Ivan G. Iliev / Language(s): English,Bulgarian,Old Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The article treats the means of expression of hesychastic apophaticism, used by Old Bulgarian writers of the 14th – 15th centuries, and the author tries to show that these means are very old, and were characteristic even for the mind of primitive people. He pays attention to the synonymy of ‘aphophatic’ negative pronouns and ‘cataphatic’ summative pronouns; to the pleonastic use of the negative particle не; to the syntactic but- constructions; and to necessative constructions.

Лексикалното богатство на югозападните български говори в описания от третата четвърт на ХIХ век

Author(s): Maria Mitzkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

As an object of research, the lexical richness of the South-Western Bulgarian dialects attracts a considerable philological interest on behalf of such prominent figures as Yordan Hadzhikonstantinov-Dzhinot, Stefan Verkovich, Lyuben Karavelov, Vasil Cholakov who focus upon both public life and relation between the written and spoken form of the language characteristic of the third quarter of the 19th century. This richness is studied in a number of publications to be found in the periodicals from that period and presented in the form of integral components or small dialect dictionaries appended to the folklore collections. This interest is provoked by the archaic traits of these dialects preserving vivid traces of the old Bulgarian heritage, on the one hand, and, on the other, by the focus on the Bulgarian dialects characterizing the period of Bulgarian national revival in connection to the establishing of the standardized Bulgarian literary language in which, to a greater or lesser extent, the characteristic features of the Eastern Bulgarian dialects start to dominate in the new linguistic normativity.

Болг. заварвам ‘заставать’ и его синонимы: этнолингвистическая заметка

Author(s): Irina Aleksandrovna Sedakova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The paper analyzes the semantics, lexicography and main contexts of use of the Bulgarian verb заварвам, with special attention to folklore, rituals and folk speech, on the ground of ethnolinguistic methodology. It also studies the words formed from the same root завареник, завареница (step-children), преварник (a ritual person at a wedding), etc. Synonymic vocabulary with other stems from the Bulgarian dialects (затичам, затечено дете, затичняк), including borrowings (Greek в/фтасам), and the semes that determine the convergence of the lexemes are indicated. The Balkan character of the greeting Добре дошъл – Добре заварил is shown; the ways of further research of the semantics of ‘to catch up’ in Slavic and Balkan languages are outlined
