In the modern high-tech and rapidly developing world, it is imperative to provide training opportunities for all adults throughout their live – especially for disadvantaged ones. Lifelong learning covers formal, non-formal and informal learning, whether for the purpose of improving one’s basic skills or acquiring new ones, acquiring new qualifications, or raising qualifications - for finding a new job, personal growth or for achieving other goals. This is the reason for creation of systems for adult learning, characterized by flexibility, high quality, high level teaching and full involvement of all relevant institutions.Non-formal and informal learning does not oppose formal, but rather, they complement and conceive, at the same time may exist in symbiosis. The training can be done in a specific context, meaning the specific objectives, with appropriate resources (funding and qualified staff) and conditions. Lifelong learning can be an integral part of the goal for turning the European economy into a competitive and dynamic economy of knowledge.

The aim of the article is to bring to mind the model of the communication of R. Jackobson and to examine if the basic linguistic units fit to this model. We consider that the basic linguistic units are the words, the sentences and the texts. After F. de Saussure we accept that the signs have two aspects: significant (name) and signifié (meaning). It is proved that the two aspects of the sign exists in the three types of linguistic units. It is proved also that the signifié contains not only a semantic information, but also it contains a structural information.

In texts of the slogans, signs of Russian identity that mark the cultural space of Russia are revealed, representing the advertising stimulus for the recipient.

The exposition systematizes the main determinants in the process of evaluating of specific reading disabilities. In order to form a set of diagnostic signs with prognostic value, some risk factors and significant diagnostic markers, as well as their correlations with the reading processes are discussed.

This article presents three interrelated studies on the use of gestures by children, university students and teachers who apply the Narrative Format model for second language acquisition in their practice. The model was created by Taeschner (2005).The results of the first research project, implemented in Bulgaria and abroad, verify that using gestures facilitates and supports children’s second language acquisition.The two studies which followed were conducted among university students in pedagogy from Sofia University and language teachers from various nursery schools. Results verify the relationship between gestures, used by teachers and their registered levels of empathic concerns. Gestures are viewed as part of the Teacher Behaviour Profile. The more empathic teachers are, the more frequently they use gestures in their interactions with the children. This has a direct impact on the learning achievements of the children. Furthermore, children taught by teachers with higher levels of empathy show better results in their language acquisition.

The proposed text discusses the adequacy of the psychiatric interpretation of Dostoevsky’s works, and especially of his novel “The Devils”. The author analyses the views of the most popular literary critics insisting on the psychopathological characters as an expression of the inner life of Dostoevsky himself, as well as some Russian psychiatric texts on the same topic. The main idea of the article is that the pathology of Dostoevsky’s fictional characters is rooted in the spiritual – and not in the psychological – sphere and despite the close resemblance between some clinical cases and the behavior of these characters, the latter is due to the conception of the demonic mangodhood and its different incarnations.

It foregrounds the necessity of investment in forms of education in higher schools as a prototype of the socio-technological network.

The article presents an analysis of the Italian scientific literature acquired in the library collection from its founding in 1888 to 1903, fulfilling one of the main tasks – “to collect and store foreign literature as the most important part of the library’s collections”. Italian scientific editions are one of the five main components of the collection of Italian rare and valuable books in the University Library. The emergence of Italian editions in the first years after the founding of the library is due primarily to the role of Italy in Europe’s cultural history, secondly to the changed geopolitical circumstances that took place after the Liberation. The purchase of Italian scientific and scholarly literature, which fills a gap in the period of the fundamental development of library collections (especially in the field of humanities), is essential for the progress of the University Library and is among the priorities of the newly established Bulgarian University. The largest volume group in the collection of Italian rare and valuable editions is the group of scientific publications. It contains 283 titles in several fields – law, history, philology, philosophy, pedagogy, and philological sciences. Detailed analysis of the Italian scientific literature in the library collections shows that most of the scientific editions in various research fields retain significant.
